or is there a software that can bump the digital one to over 160mph. I noticed when i dynoed that my digital stops at 160, and the analog was down by the odometer.

What's the point? Unless you have an F1 or Indy car (I'm not even mentioning NASCAR in the same breadth as F1), you'll never reach that limit on a regular basis . . . and I doubt you'll get there even once.

Does the OP even realize the car is electronically limited to 155mph?? You have to reflash the ECU to remove the governor... But yeah, a 180mph speedo sure looks cool even though you'll never go that fast.

Nope you dont. The digital stops at 160. It does not read more than that.

That's the reason, Take a look guys, it looks so good and not every Z has a 180mph speedometer. I just wanna do something different.

Thats a whole lot of money for a little difference. The Nismo cluster is around $900... And the tach only goes to 8k, not 9k like you want.

But to each their own, its your pocketbook. Z1 can get you one if you really have your heart set on it:

Trust me.
I have an 07, My digital reads over 160. After getting the reflash done I went out for a top speed run and it went to 168 before I had 2 slow down.

mine stopped at 160 on the dyno. However, the analog speedometer kept reading. 5th gear ended at 174mph, and the digital did not read it.

huh? The analog speedo only goes up to 160? Are we getting the 2 confused? The one over top of the radio(digital) goes above 160 for me but the one next to the odometer behind the steering wheel maxes out at 160.

yeah, the analog has devisions to 160, however, it keeps reading. the needle of my analog went down to the odometer. That's what i mean by saying that it keeps reading. The digital really stopped at 160.
