Hi fellas

As title states - Does anyone know if the original 180km odo's reading can be change.

Thanks

I'm sure they can. Just ring an instrument place and ask them.

Here's one -

Attspeed Auto Instruments -Speedometers - St Marys, NSW Unit 1, 35- 37 Glossop St, St Marys NSW 2760, Australia - (02) 9833 0055

I know VN-VS Commodore ones can be............

I rang inquiring about a car once and ask how many kms has the car traveled?

The owner replied with........ how many would you like it to have done?

Bob.

they can. the other option, which is much more commonly done, is to just buy one with lower kms on the clock.

it should be noted though, if you are trying to do it for dodgy reasons, there are ways to get a rough idea of how many kms a car has done. for starters, everytime a car is registered into a new persons name the kms are recorded, so if you put an odometer in with less kms than what you bought it at, when someone does a REVS check they will see that the odometer has been changed. i'm not sure whether, in southern states that require a blue slip every few years, the kms are recorded when the blue slip is presented (have a feeling they are).

if you are wanting to know whether it is possible because you suspect your car, or a car you are looking at has had it done, it is generally best to assume it has been if thinks seem too good to be true.

I'm thinking of importing one, and know 32 & 33's are changed all the time. Just wanted to know if they do it with 34's as well. Without changing the dash to a nismo 320km one.

When I bought my previous black R34 GT-R from an importer, the fuel gauge needle was not sitting on its spindle properly so I requested that his spare cluster replace the current one.

Both were the standard 180km speedo.

The replacement cluster had only 8500km on it and I asked if the odometer could be altered back up to the correct figure. He got it done within a day.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
