Just change my speedometer to the Nismo, now my car shows that i have run 0 miles...

Is this normal? Mechanic tells it as its the speedo that keeps the data and not the ECU of the car.

If anyone has info on this please let me know.

Thanks!!

 

who cares...you have a brand new car...now trade it in for full book value...

 

Yeah that is true. The speedo holds all the mileage info. I work for Jaguar part time and when we have to order speedos we have to specify the mileage it had on it, so when we get the new one in it shows the same mileage.

 

that's awesome

of course, the dealer should have a pretty good idea of your mileage since they record it every time you take it in for service.

 

that is indeed true...i work at a Nissan, GM, Jeep, dealership in the parts dept. and I order on average about 2-4 instrument clusters a week and each odometer reading has to be inserted into the new cluster. When we call and order them, we tell them the exact mileage and keep the vehicle overnight so the odometer is totally acurate(for legal reasons of course)...so yeah...whereever you got the cluster obviously didn't ask for your current mileage(which you could lie about anyway) and you have a BRAND NEW CAR!

 

Where did you order the Nismo speedo?

 

Thanks all for the info..

I ordered my speedo straight from www.japanparts.com

by the way i like the idea of telling people, who dont know, its a brand new car

 

$800 for the same thing you have but it says NISMO on it!!!

 

Only downside...is i'm hoping the dealer isn't going to accuse you of mileage rollback. Other than that, good luck with your "brand new" car.

 

 

nismo has 2 different things from the stock one.
1. yes, nismo name.
2. they don't have redline indication on rpm.
just flat orange color till end.

 

oh boy... let say i have 8K on the car, $800 and they start at 0 again... worth EVERY cents. I should order this.

 

btw, how much did they charge you for shipping?

 

Yes, that is true. You now will have to keep track of the milage in KM, not Miles hehe, lol. Reminds me of my old accord with all the JDM stuff on it, it was a pain in the butt to keep track, but i had over 100K miles before I changed the cluster over so.....

WE have these on sale by the way, PM me for special sale pricing.............

 

Less than an arm and a leg? LOL

 

TOny,

If i buy it, can you just leave it as the way it is without preset the mileage on it?

 

They are sold for offroad use by us. If you do use them inyour car we expect to doccument and have the mailage changed.

We only have one more in stock and then we will no longer bring them in...

 

this bring me to another question. If i order the same one as stock (new unit) will it work the same as the nismo unit? meaning they start at 0 again?

 

no... the only way to get the OEM one is to have your car here and we actually send your old cluster with your new one and they change the mialage...

 

Moved.
