V36 speedo swap (180kph JDM to 260kph English)

[mybrains]

I have sourced a Canadian English speedo for my sedan 2012 v36. Does anybody know of a person/company that can swap the speedo (and keep the correct kms on the new one to avoid any complications)? QLD or NSW

Reason to do this - english in centre of speedo v Japanese as well as 260kph vs 180 (yes I know te ECU needs fixing to go over 180 but still, it looks so much better!)

How i got it ?  use ebay.com with USA account and use freight forward like shipito.com to get it here. Canadian ones turn up in US wreckers from time to time (or just go to canada ebay direct).

Theres a chance the kms are stored on the ECU itsself?
Super easy to swap the clusters though. Ive taken mine off a few times to look at stuff behind the dash the LED lights etc.

Just needs a tune to remove the speed limiter.

There should be stores around that can do odometer calibration. Try asking your local car audio visual stores if they know of anyone who can do them.

done it. take the unit you are going to swap to a speedo repair place and get it calibrated to yours. from there its a DIRECT swap out.  takes about an hour to change.

since you are QLD there is a place on evans rd in salisbury that does exactly this.

Does it retain the functionality of the screen? Consumptions, times, adaptive cruise control information and whatever else comes up.

if you buy the canadian unit, yes  all the data carries over as all that data is ECM/BCM related.
