AK47 Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Hi guys, I'm looking for some info... When I drive I tend to hold the wheel with my right hand , changing gears with left...just as we all do!!! The thing is, it really annoys me that the speedo is blocked from view by my right hand, my other car has speedo on the left which is excellent. Question (finally) Can the speedo be taken out and switched with the other dial on the left with temp etc? If so has anyone done it? Any tips? Am I just being anal??? It's just a tiny irk in otherwise delightful motoring... Many thanks! Quote

judas Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Why don't you use the button to toggle through the settings on the rightmost dial in the middle set (the one nearest the steering wheel) to show the MPH? Quote
Guest prescience Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 I suggest an alternative of cutting off your right hand and replacing it with a transparent prosthetic - job done Quote
Liam's Z Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Personally I never used the analogue always the digital.... Can't see why this couldn't be done tho Quote

AK47 Posted June 26, 2006 Author Posted June 26, 2006 Well it would appear that it's not as simple as I thought. I guess I'll just have to stick with the digital readout... It's just a balls when accelerating through the gears and you have to watch the speed limits etc. Oh well. Quote
Chesterfield Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Crikey - and I though I had an ambitious plan to retro fit the stereo controls to the steering wheel! Perhaps it may be worth seeing if you can get your hands on a speedo from a Z in a scrap yard (if you can find one), and assessing whether the switch is possible first? Then you would want to get your hands on a service manual complete with instructions on removing the pod. But I doubt it will have instructions on disassembling the actual unit itself. You are a brave chap if you take it on! Quote
Mathys Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Buy a LHD, problem solved! I never use the analog meter anyway, I like the digital one. Quote
Sarnie Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Don´t bother looking at it all. Just look at the revs and when the little light flashes its time to shift up Quote
