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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
