Rolling back numbers

I have a GXE with no tach, and i just bought a cluster with a tach, but my car has about 62K on the clock, and the cluster has 75K. How would I go about rolling the numbers back?

you get go to the DMV and get it set up to where your title sais it is X # of miles over your odometer.

check it out. i did the same mod in my 98 gxe. you can take the old odometor out of the cluster and put in the new cluster. It's only 4 or 5 screws. i have no problems with mine.

While that does work it is best to have documentation of the cluster swap. The dealership can also help you with the mileage correction. And that is the term to use as well, mileage correction, when you saying rolling back the odometer that is the slang term used when people commit odometer fraud.

you cannot change the odometer reading w/o breaking it. It's impossible, well, not impossible, but most people, not even me, can do it.

Get ur ass on car-part.com and find one with the correct odometer numbers.

all new vehicles after the early 90s actualy have odometers that the numbers slip to the side when you roll them back so you can see a white line between them so you know it was rolled back.

like i said before, just switch the two out. your car will still have the correct number of miles on the odometor. nothing illegal, just simple and gets the job done.

Yes the speedos are can be swapped from cluster to cluster. I have done it myself, very easy.

he is replacing the cluster so the mileage on his ne cluster won;t match the mileage on hsi old one. He wants the odometer in the car to be correct. And THE best way to do this is to have the dealership perform a mileage correction and have them DOCUMENT it for you. Without tangiable evidence that it was performed by a professional you CAN and just MIGHT have issues with selling the car if someone knows the cluster is not the original.

I worked in the legal field for a LONG time and have seen plenty of these types of scenarios.

fuck it, i just wrote the difference in mileage on a sticker and stuck it in my glove box. I am a senior in high school and i plan on this car getting me through college, so i'm not planning on selling it anytime soon.

btw...my VIN number is just glued down. I know this is illegal, but how much trouble can i get in if a cop were to see it

i feel u on dat one wes.... but da only way for me to sell my sentra..is if i wreck da muhfuh...lmaoooooo

I bought a used 200SX which also had the odometer replaced. Can I have the dealer turn it back for me if the previous owner told me when it was replaced?

Thanks.
