240hoke Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Hey guys, I just thought I would show you what I did on my speedometer. I was tired of having a bouncy speedo, mine used to bounce over 20 mph at high speeds. Anyway I switched over to an autometer electric. They can also be recalibrated in a few minutes to match any rear end gearing tire changes etc. The only thing you need is the gauge, the autometer sender, and a little wire. The sender comes with a sqaure key on both sides. I figure this is for a chevy or something similar. Our nissan trannys have a different keyway. When you pull you stock cable out you can cut the key off of it and drill out the cable. With this done it can then be pressed (hammered) onto the autometer unit. This finished product looks like this: here is what he sender looks like: You will also need to add a nylon spacer between the threads on the tranny and the speedo sensor. this allow the sensor to tighten down completely and seal since the nissan threads are shorter. electric speedo in dash: Anyway hope this helps some people. there may be a nissan sensor out there somewhere that would work, but this is plenty easy and works well.

mario_82_ZXT Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I think the Nissan sensor that works is the 240sx tranny one, I don't know if it requires modification or not. Regardless that way seems good, I can't wait to see the Z "finished". Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
