Skylines have have this as do all imports due to the speed cut imposed on japanese domestic cars, they are only supposed to do 180 thus they dont need to put any more numbers on the dial!! You cant get cheap 300k speedos they are all pretty dear, id suggest unique autosports if you did seriously want one!!

I got a nizmo 320 or 340km/h speedo on mine. Came with the car and I checked out the price for one. No way I would get one myself personally. Get the Apexi RSM if you want to see yourself go over 180km/h. You get the bonus of removing the limiter.

someone offered me $90 for a set of skyline white speedo face, he said can do 320 face as well... this means your whole speedo cluster (tacho, boost, fuel, etc)

however the question is, if the electronic behind the face is a 180 speedo, what will be involved in changing it to suit 320 km/h face????

you'll need to get either an aftermarket ECU or piggyback unit which can do a speed cut, or something like an RSM. If you wait a month you can guy my HKS Speed Cut Defender which will also do the trick.

I know abt speed limiter, but my question is:

If I change my speedo face to 320 one, while the electronics behind it is standard 180 speedo, how can this be recalibrated?

Otherwise, if the needle shows speed of 320km/h, it is actually only 180km/h in real life because I only change the face plate, not the whole system... (think as if someone just stick a sticker dial 0-320km/h on top of your speedo)

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
