my speedometer is fucked up now too. is it intermittent or just does not work at all? if it doesn't work at all, it's likely the speed sensor in the transmission, that's a very easy fix you just have to get a new sensor. one in my old s13 crapped out, literally every other tooth on the sensor gear was missing. if it's an intermittent problem like mine it will be a little harder to troubleshoot. in my case, i'm thinking it has something to do with the connection at the cluster, because if i smack the dash i can get it to work sometimes.

couldn't be too many things, i've just been too lazy to fix mine.

Get it.


But don't try to drift it or race it until you know how to wrench on it.

*shrugs*

the majority of 240s have some sort of major flaw with them. hell, most are bought that way knowing full well there is some major flaw with them.

and most of them are easy fixes.
