Yep... stays on all the time.

I would have sworn it turned off once you turned the car off... *shrugs* I gotta pull my dash to fix my clock Driving down the road it started spazzing out badly lol

audiofreak97

I want to pull my clock out and replace it with something useful... maybe I can get my A/F gauge in there

Odometer rolled over today...


Now I can pretend that I'm driving a brand new car... that leaks oil... and had a worn out interior...

A/F gauge is worthless (I think) if you're running any OEM ecu
The NA 280ZX has all the necessary gauges.

audiofreak97

True. I can't set my clock, or make the little track time deal work, so it's pretty useless.

BlueKitsune

I wouldnt mind a A/F Gauge. sense they help set the AFM a little better

EDIT: Where did you get a 120MPH Speedometer audiofreak?

duowing

It's a speedo out of a 79' 280ZX. Note it has 5 digits instead of 6. Hence why's it's at 0. I believe cruise control also does not work with the 79 speedos?

audiofreak97

What he said and I got it on eBay. My old one would just spin when driving down the road, it was pretty cool but I had to replace it.

NismoPick

It does when you swap speed sensors (the 79 speed sensor isn't compatible w/ the 80-89). Now my MAF does the burn off cycle on it's own now too...

BlueKitsune

Makes me wish I had a 79 280ZX XD Then Id just drop in a Turbo engine and call it good lol

audiofreak97

Why? It's really easy to swap speedometers, no need for an entire car. haha

BlueKitsune

Dunno 79 just seems better to me lol Even tho I think the 82-83 Were technically the best.
Found a speedometer on Ebay. They want $130 for the opening bid. I dont think so

audiofreak97

Did you ask if they mistyped their 30 dollar asking price? haha

Bleach

When I find them I usually ask around $50. I put one on eBay and got more though

audiofreak97

There is an entire cluster with the 130 speedo for around 120, might be worth it, and alot easier then just changing out the speedo.

skib

I have digital and mechanical ZX clocks if you want to replace it

Bleach

What I meant is that I sell the entire cluster for $50 which includes a 130mph speedo

$100 or more is way too much for one of those clusters

hoov100

or you can get a mechanical autometer speedo and have a 200mph speedo.

audiofreak97

Do you have to do anything to the the short side of the cable (firewall to gauge) to mate up to the Autometer gauge? I remember reading something about someone having to use a Camaro end to make it work.

audiofreak97

I may, I don't really use it anyways so I don't know if I really have an immediate need to replace it...

hoov100

the stock 240z speedo worked with the GM speedo cable and the autometer works with it too, i remember putting am s30 speedo and tach into the dash of my s130 years ago and they still worked.

skib

just shoot me a PM iv got a few just collecting dust

Niku-Sama

not completely useless, if some one was running a turbo on NA hardware it would be handy.

BlueKitsune

I got bored and took that 3 guage cluster. and ended up breaking it when trying to get the connector off... Good thing I had a spare. An this spares clock is even better! It doesn't even turn on! XD And it was a cool green one too

hoov100

lol, Ive been hacking up the stock s30 harness for wiring connectors and random bits of wire, so far the only stock wiring is the tail light harness, which is staying, because it would be a huge PITA to remove and build from scratch.
