Hey there,
I've just removed my AE86 instrument cluster and am wanting to reset the odometer to 000000 kms. Does anyone know how to do this easily?
A mate of mine once showed me an easy way but I cant remember for the life of me how to do it.
Any help?
Cheers,
Joel

just grab the little numbers and move them
you gota take it apart a fair bit, take the black face off and all the needles, but its doable.
jsut becareful when you are taking off the plastic front bit, its glued on, and it easily cracks (well mine was)
well assuming its like the ke70 one, i did it by accident when i was putting my temp gauge in my cluster, i just put it back to where i thought it was before.
also why do you want to put it to 000...00 anyway?
we all have 200,000+ km's nothing to be ashamed of

LOL nar...nothing to be ashamed of.
I'm rebuilding my entire car from scratch thus not caring what the odometer reads, however I'd like to measure from 000000 kms how many k's my rebuilt car has done.
I've pulled most of the cluster apart but the numbers on the odometer don't move individually. They're all kinda locked in somehow?

ummm yeah mine just kinda moved, buy accident..
umm, generally with these rotating counter things there is some sort of locking mechanism at the back, i think its spring loaded, im not exactly sure if i can help you that much mate, without seeing it etc. just keep pulling stuff appart untill they move = my only advice
good luck

Get your speedo drive cable, an electric drill, and get crackin
LOL i wish it worked like that.
you can use the drill - but you'd still be there for days!
LOL @ drill.
I'd need to rotate it approx 500 million times to go from 350,000kms to 000000kms!
hmmmm
AE86 4AGE "Slowly but surely"
then you need a high rpm drill lol
not that i have done it much before.........
but i pull the back of the cluster apart and slide the little pin across and wind the dials back individually. dont do it from the front you will stuff the lock in bits, and when you go over bumps the odometer wil move and stuff.
you need pretty delicate fingers coz it is pretty fidley.
