Odometer Not Working

[black sky]

Hello people

I know the km on my car are jap modified i.e has been tampered with. now for some reason it works some times and doesn't work other times yea i know that most of you would see that as a good thing but it not working is giving me the shits so i'm pulling my dash out soon and i wondered if any one had any ideas on how to get it working properly.

By the way it's a 180sx

Cheers

ive got r32 skyline the way that works is a cable that runs to the back that turns in the centre mine was broken ring a wrecker in melb a plae called type m imports had one for $70

get a new one to fix it properly its easy to fit your self you need to get under car

you can try glue the bit in the back of dash but i tried and i buggered it up real good casue its a moving part and it need to stay straight to engage the odometer

when you pull it apart you will see thats if its the same

i had my dash apart about five times before i fixed it thats why its easier to buy new one

But my dash is a digital dash out of the 180 and i can't remember a cable being there for the odometer. maybe it's a different setup.

If your speedo works then its not the cable/speed sensor. Its in the head itself.

Does the speedo work?

Yea the speedo works but apparentlly if the km's have been tampered with the car's odometer does what mind does which means it works some times and then gets stuck and then it starts working again.

Ok well the problem isnt in the cable like the other guy said. Neither will work if thats the case. You will have to get a new speedo head or get yours fixed...

Damn that's what i thought you would say. I guess duct tape and WD40 doesn't fix everything.

Yep your right you need to get it fixed or buy a new one i doubt anyone would fix it unless you take it to an electronics place mechanics wont do it even doubt auto elecs. they will say to ya to try get one with a similar reading of kms and replace

too bad it wasnt a simple one....
