tigerblu Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Looking for a 180 speedo drive as the one that I have at present is the converted 320 TRD face or even a damaged speedometer cluster as long as the speedo side is complete.... not sure if it makes a difference on the part I require but I have a facelift Supra. Thanks Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 not sure if it makes a difference on the part I require but I have a facelift Supra.It does make a difference. The facelift models have the odometer in the speedo, so a pre-facelift one won't be any use to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jake - so even if I just require the needle and it's drive assembly I would still have to make sure it is from a facelift?? (sorry, not sure of the correct terminology for this part) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Well, if 290kph is in the same position on yours as 180mph is on a regular facelift speedo dial I suppose you'll just need a new speedo face. I don't think the drive assembly is removable from the speedo - not that I've ever tried but it looks like that IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerblu Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 I have spoken to Pete @ Thor today and he was the one suggesting replacing the drive assembly - he seemed to think it was just 3x nuts holding the unit in and that I would need to replace it for a 180 version. Like you I have never done this before so I really don't know either! If I find the correct solution to this I will post up the results. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yeah but if 290kph is in the same place as 180mph you wouldn't have to do any of that, it would be a simple dial change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you are saying, except I have already installed the Thor DSC+TSD unit all nicely soldered and heat shrinked!! so everything on my speedo happens between 7 & 10 o'clock.

If you just need new dials I'd suggest contacting Andy at Miami GT as they supply lots of different kinds. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerblu Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 Michael if you need a price for a new speedo let me know. Thanks for the offer:p would really like to keep the original speedo as I have just imported the vehicle and trying to justify mileage later on would be painful. Can you get any of the speedo parts or just the complete unit? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
