legality of changing odo cluster....

[TheForgotten]

i'm looking at buying a wrecked car to scab nearly the entire driveline (engine/trans/driveshaft/diff if it's LSD), and this car has nearly 100,000km less on the odo than mine. can i legally change the cluster to the one from the wreck? current car has new brakes all round 5-6 weeks ago, front wheel bearings about 3 years ago (done around 25,000km) so basically that would only leave the rear wheel bearings being old (age unknown).
so yeah, can i change the cluster? not planning on selling or anything like that, i just want the odo to read accurate for the engine

any ideas?

EDIT: should point out, wrecked car is a year older, but same model (VR exec)

Just keep the old cluster and write the new K's onto the old cluster and date you changed it. Chuck it in the shed for when the time comes to sell it.

legally you cant reset odo to 0 if u get a new engine or anything cause the body of the car still has the same km's

[hakhawk]

previous km MUST be recorded and kept for selling or re-registration purposes. if swapping to a cluster with less k's, record the ks on the new cluster aswell. if 0'ing the cluster, jst record the old ks.

not zeroing the cluster, just swapping the cluster from the lower km car. old cluster would stay in storage for re-sale/posterity (but honestly i can't see myself selling it before i kill it)

Honestly mate it a Vr Commodore,its not going to be a rare or valuable car(not trying to insult you).Just swap it over mate.Who really cares.
