Speedo adjust/calibration

[Whitewulf]

Hi All

Has anyone found or know of anyone that will adjust the speedo of a GU in Brisbane.

I have searched the web and was able to find able instrument in Brisbane but was told "NO go back to dealer". Called Dealer service area and they don't do it either. The speedo is only out by about 5-8k but its enough to get caught if you forget.

Try Perfect Dash (ask for Paul). They may not do it either, but if not, may be able to point you in the right direction.

Thanks will contact Paul and check

Marks adaptors make speedo gears to fit some gear boxes. You need to use a GPS to work out how much your speedo is up or down, give them a call and they will tell you what new gear ratio you need to correct it. They even have electronic boxes for some vehicles. You can set them up to work with various tyre diameters if you have a number of different tyres (road / mud) that you may use. Give them a call.

Good to know that one Tim - well done! Is it the same 'company' as able in brissy (franchised??). They seem to be the mob that told him no go?

I don't know what is happening but I tried to post into this thread 3 times between 5:23 and 5:33 and they keep disappearing after a few minutes.

Anyway here's #4 attempt... Nissan Parts have a range of 4 or 5 speedo cogs that are 1 tooth apart on each (they are used to adjust for the different diff ratios) and each one is worth approx 6 KPH at 100 KPH.

To replace the s[eedo gear all you do is pull off the speed sensor on the gearbox (might lose a little fluid) and swap the cogs.

My slip up, didn't read properly. It is the one and same shop Scott, I suggestring them again and ask for Ken and find out why they can't do it, as they are the guys for doing this stuff. It could only be that they can't get the gearings Evil is talking about. So I might try to remeber to call Ken myself tomorrow as I know him and find out whats the go.

Thanks Very Much, spoke with Ken, he will need to look at the GU to check what system it has, from their we can work out if able to fix :Yahoo!:

@BillsGU - thanks also, will call up Mark if Able unable to do.

Picked the car up form the dealer on Friday 11/02 and put it into ARB to have a the 2" lift and tyers (+ add ons) added Sat/ Monday @ ARB.
Tested it and seems to have had not as big effect on the speedo I thought it would. ( 265/65/17 to 285/70/17 Micky Thomp ATZ)

Had done 2" inch lift with Oldman emu springs/shocks, steering damper + bushes, Micky Thompson Baja ATZ, Safari snorkel, electronic rust, Wins Winch.
Don't have any pics yet hoping to post be end of day.

Thanks again to all, will update if I note a change.

Did you go the 4 rib ATZ??

[Whitewulf]

Did you go the 4 rib ATZ??

Yes, they seemed to me, to be "similar look" in tread to mud, less the price, plus they have the extra belt on the side wall that the 5 rib did not have.

Yeah, they are a nice aggressive pattern for an all terrain - sort of in between normal all terrains and muds. I've been happy with mine, so be interested to hear how u go with it!!
