Adjusting odometer.

[VBNSX]

After complting the R5 road rallye we were able to discern that my odometer is off. For every 23 miles traveled, we gained 1.2.

Is there a way to fix this?

thanks,

Do you have stock-sized wheels and tires?

 

[Briank]

23 miles traveled = 24.2 on the Odometer or was it 24.2 traveled = 23 miles on the odometer?

Over stock dia tires will give you more distance traveled then is indiacated on the odo and under stock dia tires will give you less distance covered then is on the odo. Also slippery conditions, wet, ice, snow and gravel will give extra miles on the odo over the actual distance covered.

23 traveled = 24.2 on odometer

I have the 94 gunmetal oem's on a 91....

Very interesting, your car is acting like it has smaller dia. tires then stock. Is your indiacated speed seem correct? It may be hard to tell because you are only off about 5% off or about 2.5 mph at 50. You may not have a problem, you may just be seeing the normal error that is built into all cars. The spedo reads high so the mileage is also over a little.

Believe it or not, according to the FAQ, '94 rear wheel/tire size is 0.2" smaller than 91-93. Plus if you have worn tires, then it could be even smaller.

guess I'm just complaining b/c after a 500 mile road rallye I was off by 25 miles.. that costed me a bs load of points...

kinda sucked..

is there a way to calibrate this properly?

thanks for all yer help,

There is no adjustment that I know of. The NSX uses a electronic pickup in the trans that goes to spedo/odo. There are no gears that could be changed. You could run bigger dia. tires or just do the math, minus 4.762% from the odo reading.

525 - (.04762 * 525) = 499.995

This is not that uncommon, and I agree with Brian, there is no adjustment. I have a friend with a 1996, same wheels/OEM tires and has the same issue.

He has just purchased other wheels and tires so we will see what the results are during NSXPO.

HTH,
