I did a 83 digital dash with the talking lady. I liked to switch from MPH to KPH when going fast to seem like you’re going faster than you are. My friends would actually think we were traveling at 140MPH when we were only doing ~85MPH getting on the on-ramp for the highway.
I had an 83,white,t-tops,burgundy leather,digital dash and 5 spd as my first car. I miss it! I just put a front paint matched air dam on it and some aftermarket wheels on it and it was a looker
How did your speedo work after your swap...i have been yold that you need to swap out the 85mph cable for the 130 mph cable at the same time because of the gearing in them. One wont correctly work with the other...cheerz!
Hey do you have a link to the steering hub that goes onto your Datsun? I have a steering wheel I think it’s a grant one and it’s five hole instead of the six hole steering wheel
Wilco farm store or ace has new screws also you should have hit up O'Reilly's and got a 10-pack of new light bulbs like $10 would save you a hell of a headache
1979 had the 130mph speedo. 80-83 had the 85mph. 79s were the only year with the 5 digit odometer. 80+ got the 6th digit for the 100k+ mile display.
Beautiful DATSUN280ZX fairlady ♥

For future reference, the clear plastic can easily be buffed out to get rid of the scratches and make it look new
Dude, nice ZX, where did you get your Z horn button?
Thank you! The steering wheel is a Grant Formula Silver. It came from Motorsport Auto with the Z horn button.
I stared at the smoke for a hot minute
does anyone make a digital speedometer for these?
Where did u got ur dashboard cover ? Need one
@7:38 sounds like the screw is eating doritos.

my ZX has a 200 KPH speedo, no MPH markings on it. I think that translates to 124 MPH. Mine is an '83

Has anyone replaced a digital instrument panel with a analog/traditional instrument panel? My 83 digital dash is fried.
Yes, do a search. Need dash harness. Dash must come out . I see digital on ebay all the time!
So a stock 82 ZX can go faster than 85?
What wheel specs are you running on your Z?
mine goes to 120-130 ish and it is 1980' 280zx
From what I see they only came in the 79 2+2
They were on the coupes as well. Wasn't limited to the 2+2.
Only 79 came with the 120 speedometers
Yep. My ‘79 280zx has a 130 mph speedometer while my Uncles ‘80 280zx has an 85 mph one.
