Yes, 280Z speedometer reads correctly with different size tires. The difference is the speedometer cable drive gears in the transmission

There are different 280Z speedometers:
* Mile primary, Kilo secondary (odometer counts miles)
* Kilo primary, Mile secondary (odometer counts kilos)

Let me know something

Hi!

On Ebay, exists speedometers from Datsun 280z with dual scales kmh and mph. If i set up one of this into my Datsun 1200 the pointer will gives the correct speed reading in mph and Kmh on moment. My doubt is the Kms or Mph on counter counting? It will counts meters and kilometers from the start point to the arrival point?. or count miles


It is possible have a Speed sensor gear? and in this case i will choose a digital speedometer at my choise?


Please let me know

Thanks

Luis

Thanks


280z Speedometer will makes a correct read with my 13" wheels? 280z has 14" whells


I will order it on e-bay

Yes, cable fits 280Z speedometer



1. Swap the mounting cups as the 280Z unit is deeper
2. Drill a hole for the trip meter shaft through the back
3. The face is to large for the opening in the 1200 housing, so carefully reduce the diameter by 1/8 inch

Please any ideia

Hi!

I have to change my Datsun 1200 rectangular speedo meter, to a round one to obtain some free space, in this way i can move a round speedmeter to right side. I move it the to right side because i install bmc underdash and the actual rectangular speedmoter fit of speed cable touch the bmc.
I read on forum and im focus on Datsun 280 z speedometer and tachometer. I have 13" wheels

The sppedometer 280z will fit on my actual Datsun 1200 speed cable? The speed will be incorrect? What will be the best alternative speedometer choice?

i read this following setence and What does it means?

"Drill a hole for the trip meter shaft through the back



Many thanks

Luis
