Can't believe these haven't sold, so much better than the JDM dials and no need for convertor chip.

Also means the power steering and HICAS weight and responses are correct, as using a JDM cluster with a convertor cocks this up!!

Was one of the first items on my Zed wish list.

I'll take it as a spare in case I've cocked up my one fitting the dials, PM sent

How does a converter chip mess up the hicas & power steering?

Cannot say I have noticed anything different before or after I did my dials.

A chip alters the speed signal to the clocks, ecu and hicas. With a typical 4 wire chip, the car thinks you're doing 60kmh when you're actually doing 60mph for example. This means your power steering ends up being lighter, as well as the hicas acting incorrectly since it decides what to do based on vehicle speed and steering angle. Using UK clocks means the car still knows the correct speed instead of the signal being altered.

Using UK clocks means the car still knows the correct speed instead of the signal being altered.

If you've used a 5 wire chip instead, they clamp the speed signal to the ecu and hicas at say 110mph, meaning the car never knows it's going any faster than that. But below that, the signal is supposedly left unaltered, so steering should stay the same.

The speed sensor talks directly to the speedo cluster which THEN sends out a speed signal to the steering ECU, HICAS ECU and so on.

These speed convertor chips are essentially just a divider, they fool the JSPEC cluster by reducing the signal from the speed sensor by 1/3rd, hence reading the equivalent of MPH instead of KPH.

The trouble is that this reduced signal is also passed on to the other ECUs which makes for lighter steering as it thinks the car is going slower than it is. The same for the HICAS response.

Using a UK cluster leaves the speedo signal at 100% and so the signal is passed on to the other ECUs at the correct value, so the speed related steering assistance and so on are as Nissan intended.

Simples!

Eh? My explanation was better. :D

Very informative guys! thanks :biggrin: Now I'm really glad I bought them!! :w00t::w00t:

Your welcome.

Like I say, don't know why this isn't a more important 'upgrade' for our JSPEC cars.

Thankfully I've already got mine, there will only be a limited amount of these available.
