Do i need to recalibrate my cluster if i put in HSV 250kmph Speedo dials

[shanhsv]

I thinking of buying HSV dials without the whole cluster so would i have to recalibrate the speedo to suit?

[Pub247]

No mate no need the cluster itself does the calibration

[shanhsv]

i wont be using a HSV cluster,it'll just be the dials

[Pub247]

yeah thats cool its in the actual speedo unit itself not the cluster. maybe i should have worded my post a little better

The speedo head is different for the 250k speedo in the HSV cluster. Fitting a new dial will not calibrate the speedo.

Ohh ok,how does it work do you know? Sorry to be so anal about it,but i tend to get stuff that people say will fit and work and it doesnt. Ie the bash plate i got recently

Didnt think it seemed right but i really dont know much about it. Is it a matter of just changing a cog?

The level 3 cluster that has the 250k speedo is very different to the Level 2 speedo. So nope not a simple change the cog deal.

Your best bet is to get a correcter box and reset the speedo using a GPS.

Damn, well i'd better suss it out
hey at $50 for the corrector and $100 for the HSV dials (with blue flames that goe with the car) it still works out heaps cheaper then buying a whole HSV cluster

so your saying that you need to change the cog in the gearbox? I thought its was straight swap. Well i feel like a dumb arse now. I know stealthy swapped his i never saw him mention you had to change anything else

I was talking about a cog in the cluster. I pretty sure if you put the WHOLE cluster in it work just fine,but im looking at using just the dials,which is little more then a plastic face on the cluster itself

When I had an HSV 250 kph speedo installed in my VS Calais there was no calibration required. I watched the guy from Holmart install it - only took 5-10 mins to install in the standard Calais cluster.

If you fit a L3 HSV 250k cluster and patch loom it will work fine. You can fit a L3 250k speedo to any l3 cluster and it will work.

If you wish to adjust a level 2 cluster you with a 250k dial you will need a correcter box thingo to calibrate the speedo.
