Odometer correction
Hi all!
My odometer has been out since I purchased the car but has gotten worse (obviously) since fitting 33s today.
Today I drove 100ks and it only registered as 91.7ks.
I don’t have a gps so I couldn’t check the speedo but am I correct in saying that if I was doing 92kph on the speedo that I’d actually be travelling at 100kph?
What’s the best way of fixing this?
Don’t get me wrong it’s a good way of keeping the Ks down on the car lol but probably isn’t the right thing to do.
Patrol is an 2006 4.2 wagaon.
Cheers guys

There is a thread here somewhere for correcting a GQ speedo not sure about other models , putting 33's on does alter the speedo but I've gotten used to it .

Jaycar sell a speedo corrector if you do want to make it read accurately.

With the GU's its easy mate. You can just change the speedo driven gear on the sensor. If you pm me the VIN of your car I can look up how many teeth is on the gear you have and should be able to point you to what you need to buy. The right gear should cost you under $50.

Yep, I have a 4.2 with 3.9 diffs on 33s. I use a 15 tooth cog at the gearbox end of the speedo cable. Speedometer is spot on with the 3 GPS units I have used.
Time Marches On .....and on ..... and on

I'm interested in a solution for this issue too, as I think my speedo is about 10% out with 33's on my GU III.

X 2 with Mudski an easy fix these days, must set up my GPS and try as well
I set my cruise control on 107 for a 110 speed on the HWY.
Think mine is right with 285s but will check.
One of my GPS has reverted to the the Nth hemisphere, a Garmin 12
the other is a VMS tourer. dont use them ppl always tell me where to go ha ha ha
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
