There is a setting for metric in there. Use that and everything changes.

Hi Chris

I read somewhere in a Canadian forum that the setting in the US cluster preferences changes all to kph except the actual odometer. This continues to show miles (and I assume count up in miles). Is this true? e.g. I get we can flash eprom to make the odometer show current car kms but if it continues to count up in miles it will quickly become inaccurate.

Also a lesser but annoying item with US cluster is that kph is the inside ring and the outside larger lettering shows mph. I have not found anybody selling a new facia but this guy could be asked.

further point on this for those that insist on asking about fixing the nav/language (even though I have already said no several times ..) from the 2013 local infiniti you will need: front panel,

Sorry to be maybe asking stupid questions, but I am thinking of buying one of these in the near future.. What exactly can you use on these systems as they roll of the boat??? I realise that all the

Thanks guys, yes CDN seems the go. In my hunt I see both Nav and non Nav versions of the speedos. Whats the difference? I would have thought the cluster didnt have anything to display nav wise (but maybe it has something to do with providing the nav system with driving info?

I have a Nav car, but am currently seeing a non Nav CDN speedo. I wonder if it will work (or can be modded to work - maybe by transferring something from my existing JDM cluster?)

I'm quite interested in changing over my dash cluster screen to display in English too, but is there any reason we can't just change the actual screen components within our jap clusters???

Or are people just changing the whole cluster because it's near on impossible to find just the actual screen itself without buying a whole cluster?

BurtoN86,

inside is pretty integrated (screen to main PCB and externally to ECU) and I doubt the lcd swap alone would work but hell, give it a go and report back.

Also the facia on JDM models only goes to 180kph whereas Canadian goes to 260kph so a facia swap wont work by itself either. Its just much easier to swap the unit whole and be done.

I scored a Canadian FX35 08 cluster a will attempt to use it in a 2010 EX35... physically looks the same but no idea if it will swap. If not, anybody with a FX can contact me for a Eng 260kph speedo :)

Dont think the FX series were ever sold in japan under the Nissan badge thus none out there with 180km/h cluster either imo...

Ah, you're missing out on the most fun thing: learning to give voice commands in Japanese. Stinking hot day and saying "Air con ju-hachi do" gets a few laughs from the passengers. :P

I tried this today and had a good giggle. Got any more commands I can try? :D

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info

      It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.
