lexsum Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 here is my problem: i bought a little mr2 import that was not registered yet - the last time ever! it was a possible supra substitute in these hard times but i changed my mind and i am keeping the supe! hooray! the person who owned it before me did most of what was needed to pass the esva but it failed on the speedo only. the problem was it was reading over eg reading 70 but doing 95 mph. the dial has been changed to a uk one but it was not adjsuted. is it possible to adjust the needle to force it to read at or under (which is permitted to a degree) or will it need an extra part that will cost me? oh, it is a 2002 manual model.

georigg Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Do a search on NCS here on the board. I posted details last year......they do a KM to MPH converter for most Jap cars. If the speedo head had been changed from original KM to MPH type, then its likely the input signal for each were different thus giving the difference in recorded to actual speed. Taking the needle off and relocating it is then not an option as the speedo is not matched to the system signal no matter where the needle is finally placed/fixed. It is likely you will need to go back to a Jap spec speedo or change the gearbox output pickup to a UK spec or even change the control system over to UK spec. Contact NCS, they will give you the best advice. Rgds George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
