Yes got a chip so no bonging at speed

Been pondering the bong, wondering why it might bong at 0mph wondering if its happens to all uk speedos fitted to jap cars, or only sometimes could it be where an auto uk speedo is fitted in a manual jap car? And its bonging because its not in park?

My vert has always read km, but the slicktop currently reads the true miles as it was adjusted when it was imported, so it makes sense toswap it out so it continues to read miles

Also, every time the speedo drops to 0mph it makes a single bong noise. I don't want to fix this by unplugging the bonger as I want to keep the bong when you leave the. Lights on and get out Has anyone else had this / fixed this, it's not something I've seen mentioned before. I wonder if it's specific to UK speedo in jap clocks or the same for UK clocks in jap car, or some other fault I've created

Sorry, but most of your advice is just wrong. There is no mechanical cable from gearbox to speedo There is no cable to change on converting auto manual (you use the speed sensor of the gearbox your using (tt and na speed sensors are different)) I'm fitting a UK speedo so I don't need a converter chip, a UK speedo reeds mph in a jap car, that's specifically why I'm fitting a UK speedo to get rid of unreliable chips (there are also other ways of converting without a chip _ new dial or replacing resistor) Jap spec are limited to 120 mph as stock

I can confirm this is true, having put it all back together I have speed in mph and distance in km. Time to take it all out again. I did search forum and faq for ages but couldn't find anything

Which colour cable? Won't that just give me a twisted cable?

Also, if there is a way of altering the miles faster than manually, one mile at a time, can someone pm the details ?

I finally got round to swapping my intermittent clocks for a UK set I bought months ago. I used to know all this, but it's been a few years and my brain is older and smaller It turns out what I was sold as a series one UK set is actually a series two, so it doesn't just swap out the hole unit ? So I'm swapping the speedo unit over, that's easy enough. What I can't remember is the mileometer. I think the mileometer is fed from the output of the speedo unit (via the plug on the back) so swapping in a UK speedo into jap clocks will convert the mileometer into miles automatically? Does this sound right? Or do I need to also swap in the UK mileometer (and therefore wind it to the correct value)

Ive got a slicktop too, drove to Jimmers last week and to Eastbourne today, i love it. I also love my vert

I have standard uk wheels on my vert, currently on toyo proxes , cant remember if they are t1r, tr1 or t1 sport , the wheels use to be on my uk car so theyve had 2 sets of proxes since i got them i got them origonally as there werent many makes that fitted uk wheels, but they were one of 3 or 4 makes the forum were favouring at the time. But i think they are a good mix of comfort, wear, grip, wet grip( as in they dave a bit) and price i have the t1sport on my slicktop too ( different size) which i use as daily drive, spirited road and occasional track.

i looked at buying this, thought i would get old fashioned paper version sent to my door, its £5 for 5 issues, but starting from june edition. Or £6.50 for one edition, but only available up to april eddition, so seems i cant buy the may one at all

I think im free

Im interested, been meaning to go for a while. But suspect i am going to have to work that weekend

Drove it back from Bristol today, where its been hibernating at powerzed

Hello stranger, been a while ?

Just finished putting mine up

I thought this too. but, once you have set up your streem, clicking the piece of paper top centre always takes me to what I want, where as clicking the 3 line drop down menu and selecting activity, unread content took me to what you describe

having finally managed to check work schedule i could potentially do this if some others were interested

Used some of the cleaning products I bought at the nec show. Then put her to bed for the winter

Depends when, assume you don't mean Xmas day?

It all seems very easy to use from a phone, even for an old, fat fingered, fool

Cheers, sorted

Can't find the "people showing at the nec" forum

I don't think that does. Doesn't that change from just a list of post titles to title with snippet of post?
