plexus Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 i think i asked this in another thread some where but got no help, does anyone no where i can get a instrument cluster that goes past the 85 mark. i dont have the digital one i just want to change the old one out (up date the speedometer). i have looked on ebay but i just find the one i currently have installed also is the a aftermarket replacement for it(i got a buddy with a 78 280z with autometer guages). all help is greatly welcome.

SilentNight1647 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 140mph units do pop up on eBay every once and while but overall not that often, your best bet is the aftermarket speedo. And besides why do you need to know how fast you are going over 85 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest drr999 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 well ièm right there with you on why you need the 140mph speedo but i am gonna need one that goes higher. iv gone up to 160mph and want to go faster. what you need to do is find a canadian spec 280zx and it should have the speedo that you are lookin for. i have seen a couple here in the wreckers, dont know if the speedos were still in them or not but they go up to 140mph.

SilentNight1647 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I don't know of any that will "pop" in but you can always put it in a pod somewhere in the car, and besides the stock speedo in any car is not very accurate up that high anyway.
