Hello to you all.

found this looking for an answer to a question on line

 

i have a 300, jap import, with the speedo in km (300)

the km has been changed to read in mph

 

so 40kph is now 40mph

 

i have now got a new face for my speedo which reads maxz 180 mph, trouble is, it now is only right if you read the kmp and use that as mph

 

 

can i get a convertor that will change it to read in the true mph and not just make the kmp become mph

 

 

thats makes no sense when i read it

 

crap

You can get a kph to mph converter, also gets rid of the de limit on the cruise control and 112mph limit, Ztech for a pucker one or ebay.

yes, i have that now, but what it does is makes 40 kph now 40 mph, it doesnt actually change the readout so that the mph gauge can be read as accurate, with htat convertor, it still uses the kph readout, but you now use it as mph

Sorry hedge i should have read your thread properly, the idea of the converter is to leave the kph clock in place, therefore, as you know 30kph becomes 30mph. Sometimes changing the face to a mph one can damage the the needle. i would have thought one of the more experienced zedders might have the answer as i would have done what you have and changed the face also.

Good luck

ive changed the face no problem, the idea being i bought white dials instead of black. i did not give a thought to the speedo converto if i am honest untill i drove the car.

Jap spec should read 180+10,sounds like you got the wrong face!

hi,

 

the face i have now bought in white, has 180 mph plus a bit more yes.

 

the old face i had, has 300kph

 

the convertor i have now, changes that to read 300mph.

 

but with the new face in place, it reads true on the kmg not the pph as the convertor still uses the kph points, but in miles

anyone please

i would look into doing a resister mod in the clock itself, trying to work out what resister you would need at this time with this hangover is beyond me......I will be back in a few hours sober so might be able to help then.....

thank you retro, that would be great

im being a idiot......search for speedo resistor mod and the resistor you need will be in that info......the same resistor i used as you have the 180+ clock faces now

If you want to do the resistor mod then it's the R10 resistor and the 33K ohm one needs to be replaced with a 20K ohm one. It's not to bad a job as long as you're ok with a soldering iron. Took me not much more than an hour to do and that included removing the clocks.

is there a how too or something?>? i dont mind doing it just not sure what im doing as yet

Been giving this more thought.

 

if i simply remove the convertor i have now, that will send the clocks back to kph yes?

which means i will be able to read my mph dials as true yes?

 

only question, will this then put the limiter back on the car ? if so can i buy a simple delimiter? or do they all change the calibration too

Does no one know the answer to the above or is it just because im new?

Its a complicated quiestion. I would try removing the exisitng resistor and seeing what it does. I think it will make your clocks read correctly but will put the limiter back.

 

I am no expert on this and infact had huge problems with a similar thing. I ended up buying a set of UK clocks and a chip from andyP.

 

I'm sure one of the guys will know better than me and will give you an answer soon.

 

Good luck with it and welcome to the nut house.

thank you cooper, i have now had the answer from a guy on e bay.

 

but thanks for trying, i was beginning to think new people were not heard
