The ecu knows the correct speed, but the dash displays it incorrectly on purpose. Putting larger rims and tyres on it will help a fair bit.

You can also use your gps speedo app, or buy an ecu reader that displays speed, like the Greddy touch or the HKS OBlink.

Interesting to see them get it working on an M35. Does it inferface with our CAN? (I bet it doesn't).

The speed signal can be intercepted at the TCU where it comes from the gearbox (It's about 149Hz at 20km/h if anyone's interested). After that it's transported by the CAN bus. If the VSS is changed, it could affect other things as the ECU won't know the true speed. At the very least the trip info/fuel consumption would be out, & we'd probably lose some top speed as the cut out would come in earlier (not that it's a huge deal unless at the track).

No, the speed signal is independent of the driveline, as a few of us have changed diff ratios with no change to the speedo reading. At a guess it comes from the wheel speed sensors, and the ABS computer is something I wouldn't recommend playing with.

Oops, sorry - I forgot about that. Thanks for the correction, Scotty :)

So my post should read; "The speed signal can be intercepted at the TCU where it comes from the wheel sensor/s"

But other than my gaff with where the sig comes from, it doesn't change the difficulty of rectifying the issue without interfering with other car functions (the point I was trying to emphasise). Like getting our ECUs programmed locally, I bet we won't see a suitable speedo correction solution, lol.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
