S14 JDM guages

[djtreble]

So I'm back, but now with a S14 silvia.

bought some lockwood dials to hopefully make an easy job of converting the speedo to MPH......but the speeds are in very different poisitions.

Below is an article on converting the jdm guages to mph and wanted to know if anyone here has tried this? Also does it just then use the kmh as mph indicators (so at 40 kmh, you are doing 40 mph)....or do I then need to use mph dial face in place?

Any help would be appreciated....I'm sure many people here have dealt with this considering the amount of imports in the UK.

Oh and I'm not swaping to a UK unit as the car is on 86K km's and want to retain the reading

leave the old dials and buy a converter you wire in easy job.de limits and instead of it being 180kmh it will mean 180 mph :-)

how are you gonna retain the reading ? a converter will change it to read in miles anyway

Yes but the low miles on the clock....not many around with low milleage on it.

Not to mention I like the jdm'ness of my car
