dessie16 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hello to all Just bought a 94 twin turbo manual supra import I have one question for now i am looking to change the speedo clocks from the japanese in kilometers to mph. Is this possible because the speedo only reads to 180 kph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallace9 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 First of all get some pics of the beast up!! You can buy an new dial (some on ebay) that you can stick over your dial which reads mph or you can get a delimiter which will delimit your top speed (obviously) and convert your speedo and odo to mph. Think most of the guys on here use the thor version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadowake Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Think most of the guys on here use the thor version. Yeah go for the Thor, I bought the HKS one and I get all kind of warning lights going off because of it Also stay weeeeeeeeeeeeellllllll clear of the cheap ebay ones unless you want your warning lights looking like christmas! Oh and by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dessie16 Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Thanks for the replies The reason for wanting to change the speedo is because it only reads 180 kph There is a stick over dial but only reads up 120mph and the car is capable of much more and would like an accurate reading What is the thor version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 There is a conversion guide someone did somewhere.... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=112141 I probably should finish that off with the vital schematic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dessie16 Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Cheers SteveR Would not be confident to do this myself was hoping to buy a new speedo and get it fitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Cheers SteveR Would not be confident to do this myself was hoping to buy a new speedo and get it fitted Assuming it is now, it would still be limited to 180kph (112mph) if you did that. It's not a hard job, if you're comfortable with chopping wires. If you were nearer I'd offer a helping hand but you're not. Are you going to JAE?

SteveR Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 SteveR What make is the body kit on your car Looks well Toyota. It's an option that Toyota did; search for OEM skirts/spats. Glad you like it, I certainly do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 ave been told the car was derestricted Only one way to find out... Bit odd to delimit it and not convert it, unless the delimit was done in Japan. Eitehr way it'll still go round (off) the standard speedo face, which is a bit.... pointless/useless.

dessie16 Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 I think i will go to a garage and see if that is the case There is a good high performance car garage on the island The last owner had a cat removed and a stainless steel exhaust fitted and seems genuine enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 If you fit a DSC (digital speedo converter) as per SteveR's excellent write up you can use the same speedo and dial, and just change the KM/H legend to M/H on the dial. (as indeed can be seen on Steve's speedo in this photo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
