Is there any speedometer replacement for 89 240sx SE hatch ? The 115mph one isnt going to cut it ! Is there one that will go higher ?

180mph is too much IMHO. I think ideally it should be around 150-160....

I always wondered if there was any way to modify the signal from the speed sensor so that everything (ie:the ecu and speedo) would think you were going slower. Then you could read of the kmh side or replace it with a jdm gauge. Anybody know the specifics of how the signal works?

The back of the speedometer is marked something like "1024Hz 60mph" Find the tach singal, put a divider inline and recalibrate away! There probably is a way to cahnge the Hz/MPH internally as well. I haven't taken apart my speedo to check.

I'm thinkin' those 180mph speedos look a lot like JDM speedos that go to 180 km/h. I'd be willing to bet that that company takes factory models, refaces them, recalibrates them, and sells them for a nice profit. If I could only figure out how they do it, we'd all have 180mph speedos. ;)
