    All VP's have 2km increments. At least all the 5 litres. You should know by know VP's were Holdens race model

    Dammit!! I've lost this argument then. Any more background info? Holden's race model?? What other cool stuff did they get?

    I was so sure my mate had 2 BT1 clusters at his place. Damn.

    I have a VR BT1 that has a 2kph speedo... all the BT1s do as far as I'm aware. Damn VPs being the odd one out. I don't think the V6 VPs have them, just the V8s.

    In answer to my own question, it seems that:

    Every BT1 has 2kph increments and the speedo is calibrated properly. i.e. spot on, Police spec.

    All VPs have 2kph increments but are factory calibrated, i.e. a bit less accurate than the BT1s.

    KRUPTD, yours will have that dash because it's a BT1 not because it's a later VN... as for the odometer thing, find somewhere that repairs automotive instruments and they'll be able to supply a reco one for around the $120 mark and set the odometer to whatever you like. They use a metal gear when they reco them too, not the factory cheese plastic one lol
