Odometer roll up...

[thedatazoo]

Hey guys,
I just got a new gauge cluster for my cb7 and because I'm on my l's i need the odometer to be wound up(for driving records/hours) is it possible? I know that you can take the glass off it to expose the odometer but if you manually do it would this wreck it?
thanks
Anthony

idk

I have allways wanted there to have a revolution meter cars.That way you really know how hard that has worked to get to "x" amount of milage

So are you trying to get the mileage to match the actual mileage on your car, or are you trying to fake the driving time you're supposed to be accruing?

The last time I checked, most odometers will show signs of tampering. They used to build them that way to stop people from lowering their mileage. If you ever see an odometer that the numbers look like jagged teeth, staggered up and down, it's probably been tampered with.

I adjusted one on a saturn once for going UP in mileage. I pulled the little miles meter out and hooked it to a small dc motor, turned it on and in a few hours had gone a good 50,000 miles I am sure it wouldn't be that hard to take it out on the Honda cluster

yea its the same thing on ours with one little exception, its easier to do on 9091 cluster, since there is no "Maintenance" thingamabob as with 9293.
what year is yours?

so if you hook the battery backwards will the numbers roll back?!?! lol,, i want my chassis to match my motor!

What maintenance thing are you talking about? My 91 LX has the maintenance indicator. I've reset it a few times with my key. Spinning them forward shouldn't be a big deal, it's backwards they frown on.

Yeah I've tampered with the odometer plenty of times, it is definitely possible. I can't really explain how to do it, I would have to show you but ur better off going to the JY and picking up one or two of them (u actually don't need the entire cluster just the part with the numbers on it, when u take the cluster apart u will see how to remove that part). Rolling the numbers forward or backward is pretty much the same, it takes a bit of finesse but u can do it. I used a couple of really small slotted screwdrivers and basically u have to separate the numbers with one screwdriver and roll the numbers to where u need them with the other. It may take a minute but it works. I know that doesn't say much but like I said I can't really explain it.

^^^^^ what he said.....

I want to point out something here, NS clusters are different from DENSO, I was able to reverse my DENSO by pulling the reels one at the time....

On the NS. You will have to replace the whole assembly of numbers.
My recommendation to the OP is to do that, is only 4 small screws.

yea i know its not hard to reset, but in order to spin the odo backwards you would have to disable the gear for the indicator
