Hey guys... got a bit of a pickle at the moment...
trying to firgure out my cheapest options for the speedo...
currently i have the 'heads-up' display with means digital speedo, no mechanical...
RX7 Gearbox has a mechanical output thingy for the speedo cable...

Is there something i can do/purchase that will enable me to install a cable or sumthing and still use the heads up display??

Or is there a mechanical cluster i can isntall? My bro had an old cluster from his 180, but it didnt appear to have the attachment on the back for a mechanical speedo cable...

Thanx guys...!! smile.gif thumbsup.gif

I believe you should definitely be able to do it. Have a chat to a gauge/instrument specialist, they should be able to help you out.

There is a place, whose name escapes me now, on Evans Rd, at Salisbury.
If they cant point you in the right direction, nobody can..

OTTO INSTRUMENTS... Just remembered.


On another note, conversion looks awesome.. Hope someone remembered to tap the back of the inlet manifold to pipe up your brake booster..

I don't know why you would spend all the time and money doing this swap. 1UZ-FE's have around 180HP atw in stock form...



it's a 180sx - there's no 1.8l now, so the number could be for the amount of horsepower!

SO i flogged one off a wreck, and it bolted straight onto the Mazdas gearbox... just get it wired up and hopefully it works!! STOKED biggrin.gif... Gave myself a nasty lil cut on the cat heat shield... not a bad effort tongue.gif

Very impressive.
Rattatatat, I was given to think the 1UZFE had a stock 265hp? This would be a little more impressive through a manual.

What is the drivetrain? Rx7/Mx5 Gearbox Rx7 Clutchtype diff?
