e30ftw 410 Report post Posted April 5, 2010 What was wrong with the speedo? I think the speedring on the center is the wrong one for the diff, I used the one that came with the LSD cos I bent the original one taking it off. But yeah I pulled my diff and kerry suggested checking if I get a pulse from the diff, the one you lent me pulsed, my 4.45 locky I have (lol) pulsed too, but mine wouldnt pulse at all. So I pulled the diff, removed the back plate, and figured that the ring does work with the sensor, its just sitting too far out (like 2-3mm). So i grinded off about 2-3mm of the flat face of the sensor so it goes in towards the ring more, and checked if it would pulse and it did, chucked it back in the car and gave it a quick go and it worked. So yeah I'm happy I won't have to put that 4.45 diff in haha and yay I have a speedo again lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e30ftw 410 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 Just went through VTNZ, All it failed on was not having a LVV cert for the ground controls. Didn't even notice the engine ha! They also want me to wind the K's forward on the replacement cluster I have. It's sitting at 122,000ks, last WOF I was at 136,000ks so they want it up to about 140,000kms when I go for a re-check. Anyone know how ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tire 10 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 I've seen it done by just clicking the cogs on the back over with a flat head, but there is a risk of snapping something that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone know how ?? You can take the gauge apart and wind it back using a bit of brute force. I recommend practising on another one first, I did manage to wind one back to zero once and it did work afterwards. Crack up that they didn't notice the engine, when I got a warrent I pointed my engine out and the guy just said "that's pretty neat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2136 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 yep not hard to do. or throw your old cluster in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e30ftw 410 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 20,000kms ? Hmm........ Old cluster is screwed. I know how to do it now anywho, practiced with the speedo out of the old one. Can't get a cert until next week either, still wondering if I'll make the big meet next weekend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c.robertson00 11 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 Couldnt you ask bmw to change the odomoter? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark247 39 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 Come to think of it, I do find it hard to believe you need an accurate odometer for a wof, and the guy is telling you to wind it back up. What the hell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2136 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 +1 does seem kinda wierd. They didnt give a crap when i put my euro cluster in, and i even drew attention to it when i told them it still counts in KM despite saying Miles. I have only gone to VTNZ in the past for warrents too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerry 10 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 you could attempt this but you may want to try it on a old one first Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CamB 48 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) You know, I just had a look in the WOF VIRM and I can't see a requirement for an odometer (speedo yes, odo no). If you don't require it, presumably its not required to be accurate. Maybe ask them to show you in the WOF rules where it says you need to have an odometer. http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/virm-in-...le-interior.pdf Edited April 7, 2010 by CamB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
