Speedo Calibration

[lwboosted]

hey does anyone know some places in se subs to get your speedo calibrated??

[blackrex]

Theres a place just off the Maroondah Highway near the corner of Heatherdale road called Ringwood speedo (iirc) that does this work. Search for guages in the Yellow pages.

Or "Speedometers". There's one in Mulgrave, IIRC. They stick a "black box" converter on the cable, costs around $175.

Yeah I need to do this to. Mine is out by about 15-20%. Maybe because of the R33 gearbox.

I know that one in ringwood (ringwood speedometers) and I really need to get there sometime....

The skoob needs a calibration as well - group buy?

[Phantom32]

how much did it cost and where did u do it? What exactly did they do to the car?

I need to get mine done also.

cheers

oooh, i know about this topic, madness

well depends WHY your speedo is out guys, and how much ...

im unsure about how the elecrtical speedo in skylines work, but usually you either replace the gear inside the gearbox that sends the signal to one with fewer or more teeth, to get it correct.

try, automotive instrument repairs in mulgrave, just off springvale road near the 5 way junction.

I've had an old car of mine calibrated there, friendly bunch of people... There is also another mob, but they are up in the northern subs

Yeah I believe there is a trip pot adjuster inside the dash for the electrical adjustment. I think my problem is that I have a R33 gearbox though. I wonder if it can be adjusted in the dash instead of the drive gear in the box???

[khunjeng]

get a Apexi RSM and then u will know.. but you can't adjust it I guess.

theres a place in dandenong don't go there they quoted me $300 to do it i might ring up that place in funkytown, mines out by 10km, but i'm getting new 18's and it stuffs it up even more and my turbo timer speedo doesnt work then.

i doubt aps can do it in frankston. especially on a r32 as they are analogue not digital. the only way to fix it on a 32 is by changing the cogs... mine is out because of the r33 box conversion.. i need a 21tooth cog in my gear box for it to be right. i have tried so many places but they all have no idea.. i will try that place in mulgrave...

Keep us updated because I have the 33 box too and would like to know what cog is needed and where to get it from. thanks...

Hey all,

I heard this and it might be worth discussing.

There'a a Jaycar didgital pulse adjuster, which might be ble to do this. (I think it was this, it's in the 'performace electronics for cars' book)

A tuner was going to have a go and do it.

I don't know how he went, and if it cost only $175 to do it, p;robably better at the end of the day as the thing cost about 80, plus you need to build it (it's in kit form) and you need the hand controller for it as well. Then you need to tune it, which is dyno time.

Now that I've written this, I've no idea why he is going to bother...

[lwboosted]

will do
