I was looking at the Nismo combination meter, I know they cost a bit like $700-is landed new. the thing is these speedo combo only available for 6sp or tiptronic v35 with tv/dvd only.

I wonder why car with tv/dvd has something to do with the speedo?

Has anyone replaced theirs, does that remove the 180 speed limit or is that controlled by the ecu?

Does it reset the electronic odo km to zero, or will the odo reading kept consistent? e.g. the odo reading is controlled by another device, not the speedo?

and is the speed reading accurate? I had a nismo 300kph speedo on my old r33 gtst <sold>, and the speed reading is off by almost 10km/h.

is there any electrical hic ups after you replaced your speedo with the nismo items?

only thing I can figure is it pulls the speed signal from there. the speed signal is in CAN most other areas of the car.

got a pic of the whole kit. if I see it I can tell you.

No pics, cos the meter is still in Nismo catalogue in japan... just considering to order, but only if the '03 350GT on its way does have a TV & DVD navigation, as according to the catalogue it won't work with cars without TV & DVD navigation.

What's CAN by the way?

I've got one of those installed. I'm not sure about the 180km/h speed limiter. I don't have it but it is probably because I also have the Hi-Tech reflash ECU. Yeah, speedo is off by about 10km/h but it could also be due to my larger wheels (19").

If you interested in the cluster let me know, we could work something out. Mine is auto.

Does your car has factory tv/navigation ?

and is this Hi Tech reflashed ECU is done by a company in Japan or is it a local company?

well if you know the tyre size of a standard 350GT, and the tyre size of your current 19" it can then be calculated how much off is your 19" tyres' circumference against the stock tyres, and determine if that 10km/h off is due to tyres or due to speedo.

I had a nismo speedo in my old R33 and it was off by about 10km/h due to the following reason (I believe):

- By standard most cars will have their speedo 'off' by about 2-4km/h depending make/model.

- Nismo speedo is for manual model, however:

- Car was converted auto to manual with original auto diff retained, which has final ratio of 4.3:1 instead of

manual's final diff ratio 4.311:1 (there's about 4% difference)

- Car has non std 17" wheel & tyres so there is a further off factor...

It reads high, so when it reads 110km/h on interstate highway I was actually only traveling about 99-101km/h and if I stuck to the limit according to the speedo people just get past me looking really annoyed.

Is yours reading high than actual speed or reading low? reading high saves your license from speeding fine :rofl:

I put Nismo dash out of a manual CPV35 with TV and Nav into my manual 4 door V35 to see if it worked and it did so I ordered one with and it worked fine in my car that has no TV or NAV at all.

When I ordered it a VIN number was given.

      I'll bite. I no longer own any euro's, but I thought I'd share two of my favorites I owned. My 500hp B5 S4 and my 800HP E55 AMG. Yes I did attempt to drive the E55 in Canadian winters, that lasted all of a month as it was a death trap.

      To be fair this is the wife’s car. However, I have been accused of owning more cars than I have pairs of undies. Luckily I change my undies more frequently than the cars.

      Cheers Lads Looking at changing up a few things maybe go 2.8lt, bigger injectors with more a modern Turbo. Possibly transbrake and convert to E85 with Haltech ECU. Any thoughts on those Mods changes or better ideas? Want to try keep the car Street/Strip While also being weekend drivable still.
