qha_vn Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 the ex-owner of my 1990 LS400 had changed the rims from original 15 to 16" which in turn makes the speedo meter indicates wrong speed display. GPS shows 100km/h while the speedo tells 80km/h :cries: given that the 93-94 model use 16" rims, should i replace my current speed sensor with the 93-94 one? are they compatible? thanks for any advise
bartkat Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Maybe go to lower profile tires to get the same revolutions per mile.
qha_vn Posted February 12, 2007 Author Posted February 12, 2007 but it would require 4 new tires (existing ones are still in good condition)
92Lex Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 20km/hr difference seems high for a +1" rim. Are you sure that the GPS is accurate? How are the roads in VN? I haven't been back there for years.
qha_vn Posted February 13, 2007 Author Posted February 13, 2007 Hi 92Lex, might be both inaccurate :-( where can i look into? VN road is getting better, vehicle has recently got a plus of 10-20 km/h to max speed your from VN?
92Lex Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Try putting 15" rims back on your car, to see if the GPS is accurate. I was born in Da Nang. My last vacation to VN was almost 9 years ago. Your English is pretty good...were you taught at school, in VN?
qha_vn Posted February 13, 2007 Author Posted February 13, 2007 will a 93-94 speed sensor work for me (1990)? compare on 15" rims is a good idea, give will it a try thanks for your comment on my English, yes i was taught in VN. i am living in HCM, if you are back to VN, lets have a drink :)
92Lex Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I'm not sure if a 93-94 speed sensor would work with your application. 90-94's platform are basically the same but I'm not sure if the electrical components remained unchanged. Maybe someone could chime in? HCM? I still consider it Saigon. Haha. My friends and I were planning a trip back there this summer. If everything goes as planned then I'll be seeing you soon. I had a plan to have body kits produced in VN and have them shipped to the states. I can provide the mold. Do you happen to know people over there that can make this happen for me?
qha_vn Posted February 13, 2007 Author Posted February 13, 2007 you probably got the right contact for your plan :) going to be a private thing that doesnt help others here, please contact my email qha_vn@yahoo.com cheers
