I just ordered the Dakota Digital SGI 5. My car was converted from a V6 to a 305tbi. The po who did this never installed the vss buffer so.. when I bought the car I was told that it was the speed sensor. After trasing wires, checking parts, and the common ahh it must be broken so lets replace it method have all been used. Finally, I found out that my car needs the vss buffer and I do not even have connectors for one. I am gonna try to wire up this SGI 5 and see if I can finally get this stock gauge to work. I do currently have an aftermarket autometer nexus speedo installed. If I get the stock gauge to work, I plan on selling this nexus gauge with its module for $300 dollars.

how does your current sppedo setup work? and is it easy to install in a 91 z28 auto with electronic vss? my speedo doesnt work and have been told the issue is in my ecm as i do naot have a buffer for mine...and if its easy enough how much shipped to 08317?

Devolont

It is really simple. There are two wires that come off the speed sensor unit itself. Trace those coming up the firewall, or even into your dash. (I found is easy enough to just find them under the hood given more room and light) Just wire it up to control module. I can take pictures probably tomorrow when it is done raining. I can have that shipped for $320. The nicest feature of the gauge I think is that you can use any combo of gears, tire size and even speed sensor gear and still calibrate the gauge to read correctly.
Also, What engine is in your car and yes, the gauge will work for any car, engine and trans combo. (atleast ours that I know of, haha) The installation was supper easy, just gotta find a good place to mount the gauge. Like I said, I will get some pictures of it for you and the installation.

pics would be nice,are you in a rush to sell it?itll take me a couple weeks to arrange bills and such to come up with the money..also it will fit in my 91 z28 cluster correct,or have i misuunderstood ya?

Devolont

This gauge will not fit inside of the cluster atleast I do not know how to do that. I will take a few pics for you then probably tomorrow when I can get the car in the garage and explain a few things. I am in no rush at all. I still need to find out if this sgi 5 will work or not. But yes, by thursday I will have pictures up and things written out for ya.

well if you still decide you wanna sell it im still interested in buying it so its all good im curious to see it now and where i can put it in my dash

Devolont

Sorry for the big delay. I am waiting for these parts to show up in the mail. I would have thought they would have shown up by now but I guess we will have to just wait and see.

Devolont

haha. As if this week hasn't been weird enough. My engine blew yesterday. Went and picked up another one. I have the old engine out, setting up the new engine and about to drop it in. The parts have still not arived. I am going to assume that this coming week the parts will arive, lets cross our fingers.

Alright, for anyone who has questions, I should have the write up and picture of this thing working in a few days.
