sentra Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 you can get tachs that work off your alternator my cousin got anal sex over this/they changed it so they could turn it on and off for when they got pulled over. this is small town sth island i highly doubt youd get done in a city "sir please drive 1 km and stop again" in peak hour traffic.

mikuni Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Did he really get caught and locked up for not having his speedo connected? Lols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentra Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 come to think of it he never said what punishment for it was just he was in court for something that sounded really scary when i was 15 and he was talking about it like 'tax fraud' or some shit. if i had a diesel id do it/call the local police station and ask them what would happen/there job is to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vai-Man Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Wouldnt a digital spedo be an option. Or you could be rangi as and try and use a speedo from a bicycle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Thats not rangi....... thats mint have been meaning to do it for a while, will one day, buy one of the wireless ones, mean supreme........ but yeah, they run off the alternator, pisses me off beacuse there is omething wrong with mine on my van, so I cant disconnect it as the tach onyl reads to 1200 rpm for some reason.... but deisels fucekn rule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Wouldnt a digital spedo be an option.Or you could be rangi as and try and use a speedo from a bicycle Not such a dumb idea - My pal with a 500hp plus Rover P6 race car has one on his car and he has had the speedo on for quite some time (over 5 years) - the trick is finding a resin strong enough to hold onto the magnet at 200kph yet also withstand the temp of his brakes slowing down a 2tonne behemoth from 200kph That is all - but still reckon the guy will get snapped - people check to see the increase in milage between WOF's and see if it is consistent or erratic or not changing at all. Next thing you know you have a summons for court - fraud! Doh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentra Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 could magnet not go on driveshaft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I guess but it would need to be to an independent rear unless you have somewhere super trick to mount the pickup. Also then you would need to figure out how many revolutions of the driveshaft per kilometre etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 leave diesel fraud to the experts , like me .. also fully not worth doing it really the amount youd get raped isnt worth the exercise only time id do it is for long trips that you dont normally take.
