Aero-M Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 probably the de restrictor? mine does it from about 20 mph upwards, normally bounces either side of true speed by about 40mph. that is once your at motorway speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jaybosupra08 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 is there anything that can be done to sort it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I've never seen that happen before. What speedo convertor have you got fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jaybosupra08 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 not sure what speedo convertor i got it was already fitted to car when i got it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) That would be the first thing I'd check TBH mate. EDIT to be more helpful: Normally the Jap import is restricted to 180kph (112mph). It sounds as if your convertor is a cheapo jobbie and acting badly once the speed gets up into/above that region.

miko_supra Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Mine acts almost like a boost gauge. Normal speed reading and then as soon as it comes on high boost it shoots up an extra 40+mph until i lift off...Only started doing it recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jaybosupra08 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 yeah thats what mines doing its fine at normal speed but when i boost up it jumps up and down by 30-40 mph but only when past 120 ish so unless i sort it out ill never know my speed till i take off lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero-M Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I've never seen that happen before. What speedo convertor have you got fitted? mine is only a £30 ebay job, will be getting a decent one to fit next month, the thor's are meant to be good aren't they?

Thor's units are pricey but do the job properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
