Those of you running S13 digital clusters...what's it max out at? Since it can be MPH or KPH the numbers are there for a very high MPH so I was just curious. I swapped a digital cluster in many moons ago and it never worked. Just wondering if it did work where it would stop.

Probably 999 cause it can handle 3 digits. Or 199 cause the last digit is only programmed to not go above the number 1.

No 4th or 5th gear sensors in the transmission + an RS Enthalpy tuned ecu.

I should think KPH would go atleast to 2 in the hundreds spot...

I'm looking into an aftermarket digital HUD since I have that housing in the dash still and the digital cluster blew ages ago. I was wondering if anyone has ever seen any around. I searched and found http://www.waeco.com/en/1879.phpbut something tells me it might be hard to get... http://www.waeco.com/en/218_63...0.phpI want to restore the functionality of the HUD on the dash, and keep the analog cluster. for the brief few months that it worked it was really nice.

on google I found showing it can make a 1 and a 2 and a 3. Chances are you kill yourself while breaking an all time world record for land speed, wwaaaaaay before ever reaching 399MPH

I thought that wouldn't but idk, I never tried.How about this guy he has a website I have to look for. he can retune your ECU for cheaper. He sells his products and services on ebay.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...n%3D4I just bought the OBD1 to USB cable yesterday from him.http://cgi.ebay.com/NISSAN-ECU...wItemoh here's his sitehttp://www.e-mance.com/index.htm

Auto ecu won't do much for bigger injectors and maf and such though.

of course not, but if you're just looking to ditch the speed limiter and don' need a tune the auto ecu is the way to go
