SPEEDOMETER VARIATIONS - IMPUL *US* JDM

[lino]

I was wondering how many different variations there are for the G50 Speedometer and RPM guages, original and aftermarket.

Why does the JDM speedo only read 180km/h?

Here are the ones I've seen so far:

Idk. Maybe the JDM manufacturers wanted to keep the G50's potential a secret?

I'm more of a fan of the old style font. The latter font in the speedometer and tachometer don't appeal to me.

Holy freaking cow, is that a 12k Tach?!?!

Lol. They don't have Metric standards for measuring RPM's do they?

I wonder what a VH sitting in a Q would sound like at 12k.

All cars in Japan were electronically limited to a top speed of 112mph if I recall correctly by government mandate- not sure if law is still in effect?

We might be needing them soon the way the boys here are going with turbos, manual transmissions and our course our favorite ....the NICO ECU.
