Default How to convert odometer from miles into kilometer?

the headline says all. since i am located in europe i would like from the canadian? guys how it is done. when the sun shines onto the odometer you can clearly read kilometer and miles on top of each other. thanks, george, stuttgart

also i would like to know if anybody ever converted the A/C system from F° into C°?

another question would be if the SC400 has a speed limiter??? above 135mp/h the car really decelerates. you can really feel the car could go much faster than that! same thing on the LS430 which definetly HAS a speed limiter located at 156mp/h like most european cars.

4th and last question would be if anybody converted its SC400 into a "gas + liquid gas hybrid car" yet and has experience on that?

thanks for your answers.

george, stuttgart

Hi Mate,

The all thing I can tell you is that my SC300 had a speed limiter at 180km/h but when I installed a multipurpose turbo timer it delimited it, now a can cruise at about 230km/h +.

I have known that the domestic Japanese Soarers have speed limiter at 180Km.

All the best Mate.

The KPH is part of the actual computer chip and you cannot makes these changes within the cluster, it also hooks to a sensor designed to signal a certain voltage tuned to MPH.

When I plugged a Canadian cluster into my car, it still read KPH even on a USDM car.
