as a mater of interest hows this done i was told some garages have a electric wind back thing. I dont want to do this but i am interested and sure others would be also

cough electric drill cough

reversable one ha

I was talking to the chief speedo winderer from the early 2000's for a major car yard in christchurch years ago. He said the best way was to wind it right forward and right round again that way the numbers say lined up. He said as soon as you wind it backwards the numbers are out of alignment. Reckons he was doing everycar coming through the lot He took one look at my surf and said it had been done, which I confirmed when I took the dash apart to put in the CB and PRS and found some connectors not rejoined

what yard...give us a clue

the drill is conneted from under car end of speedo cable or do you take dash apart it would be hard on your drill hand hanging onto the drill for hours is there away to place in a frames or holder for the drill and leave it to UNWIND

zip tie round the trigger? zip ties fix everything

you place it in a lathe. stops the vibrations too.

I have to wonder about this. if you are going to wind a modern speedo forward to end up with it showing 50k less using an electric drill, that's 950k you have to wind it forward. if the speedo sits on 200kmh, it would take 4750 hours to do, roughly 6 months. winding the speedo cable in reverse won't work. try reversing and see if the speedo works, it might on a electronic speedo but not a mechanical one.

Mines a 1990, i took the dash unit out, unscrewed the speedo unit out, with a screw driver, i opened the mount on the back that holds avset of white gears that stop the numbers from being moved externally. Once that is moved , the numbers will jz roll freely, so adjusted it to the value i desire, then placed the white gears back and stashed it back, if you are careful you can do a good job, and it works fine.

Peace

All your names have been taken, the speedo cops are on their way.

Piggy, did you take it off the wall and out of the frame to copy it? Or was it a spare print you had laying about just for this purpose?

I think you will find he blew it up from his wallet photo XJ

Minimum effort method. Pull the plastic cover off the front, insert a fine blade to the right of the digit you wish to change, carefully twist it slightly to disengage the pins between the numbers, roll over to your desired value and re-assemble.

That, plus how do you explain it when you go to sell and someone does a VIR look up on it?

So what's the gain?

+1 for this method, so easy to remove that cover!

why the phuk is this even being discussed? its illegal, end of story.

Oh hell, what the heck, shall we discuss the fastest method of bypassing security systems too, or how about where the best chop shops are in the country.

amazing

maybe the fact that terrano speedos crap out all the times, and the amount of times ive had to replace mine, ring up land transport, get them to send out a new ticket, and while i wait drive a vehicle that is out of road users?

if i could have wound the speedo back, it would have been alot easier, and would have saved alot of time.

the other thing is, if its illegal to wind back the speedo, is it illegal to buy a speedo with far less k's and install it instead?

Remember its all entered into the system when OCF or WOF is done, big red flashing lights appear when numbers dont match, As for Terrano speedos always failing, my one did 450,000 kms without an issue, mind you I didn't play with it either

Apparently Christchurch has good facilities especially for 4WD's.

Its not in australia. you can buy a new speedo it will show up as lower k,s and they will warn the new owner but the owner after that . Thats why you sell it to your mate first lol

yrd you have to remmember at warrent times the miles or kms are recorded so any playing about you would have to take in to consideration
it show as a inconsistent speedo

fawkin newbs....



youngmeisters wont get it

how about we get rid of FUCK1NG RUCS FOR PASSENGER VEHICLES?

enough cunt7s wind their K's back, the system doesnt work for passenger cars, change the system.

I remember getting fried over my thread of putting a switch into a GQ Safari dash yet all you terrano buggers are encouraging it....

/sorry im drunk.

CLUMZ (with the bottle)

fair enough clumz lmao,

i know plenty of people doing it, not myself though, not worth the risks.

doesnt help we get taxed and taxed and taxed for using diesel though......

If a diesel costs too much to run buy a petrol and quitcherbitchen.

You'll figure it out when you don't have the drunk anymore.

working on that now, actually, drinking more is counterproductive.
