Hi all...while traveling
home from a weekend camping trip i had a mate with me who had a up market GPS and as i always curious as to how much the mt's 285x75 affected the speedo reading,l asked him to do a speedo
check for me while doing 100klph..and guess what ..the speedo was spot on .It must have been a bit out with the standard tires on.

Hi All,
I have a 3.0ltr diesel ST model which came supplied with 265/70 R16 Bridgestones.
When i did a speedo
check against the GPS, I found that when the GPS is reading 100kph, the speedo is showing approx 110 kph.
As said above, it is approx 10% out.
I have been told that the speedo ratio is designed for the petrol vehicle, which comes with bigger tyres.
This is rather annoying, as my mileage will show that the vehicle has travelled 10% further than it actually has. Not good for resale vale.
Thanks
TonyG

G'Day TonyG'
We have a friend of ours who has a hyundai 4x4 who recently did a trip to
Melbourne . On leaving
Melbourne coming
home he said there is a
bridge with a digital speedo
check device on it. He found there to be 5 km difference and after his research found that this is a factory setting to ensure that you are not speeding. Not sure if nisssan do this to!!!!
