All:

Last week I took my 2006 G35X to the dealer to look at my air bag light (supplemental restraint warning light) which had come on on the dash. They replaced my "spiral cable" ($286) and that fixed the problem.

On the way home from the dealer my speedometer stopped working! It lazily moved up to 120 mph and then slowly moved around to point straight down, and stayed there. I took the car back in, and now they tell me I need a new instrument cluster, $771. They say the speedometer problem is not related to the spiral cable.

Has anyone else had a speedometer problem? What do you think?

^^ Hey Stuart, I think you'll get more and better responses if you try posting this thread over on the 1st gen sedan section: https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sedan-v35-2003-06-15/

 

thanks. I'm in the wrong section.

 

Hi all, I didn't want to start a new threat...... but here is my question; I noticed that the speedometer is not really accurate, when it says 120Km/hr, I am actually going at 108-110, I double check it with the phone and 2 different GPS; have you guys noticed this? is it just my car and it needs a calibration?
Thanks
PS. I searched but could not find much....

 

Parthur:

Do you regularly drive 108 - 110 mph? Just asking, no judgements!......

Canadian speedos are not uncomon for this apparently.


Notice his location.

 

Can you do that in Canada?

 

I think he ment 120 km/h which is normal there

 

Well, if you read it says 120 km/hr, not milles/hr....

 

**sigh** . . . . **facepalm**

 

Why not? most drivers in the US drive around 75-80mph on the highways so why is it unbelievable?

BTW in case you were confused or misread it, like many said its 120kph which is about 75mph

@parthur: like VQ linked it seems to be a common issue on Canadian models unfortunately

 

My mistake. 120 kph. thanks for pointing it out.

 

Yes, i guess I have to live with that, i check it today and odometer is not afected.... Only speed, for now will leave it and when getting rims/ tires (stock now) then will correct it, there is the excuse I need it for rims...
