i am having trouble replacing my speedo cable for my 1970. I know the speedo started at 20 for 1970, but is there a difference between the 70 and 71 cable. I ordered a new one from VicBritish and the one they sent had different ends. Can someone help me with this? My old one is the one on the inside

As far as I know, the one on the inside of this photo with the wire spring wrapped around the end which "plugs" into the transmission is correct and should be original for your 240-Z.

Yes, this was the one that came off the car. Unfortunately, i cant find a replacement.

Had the same issue with a cable from VB. Besides it was a POS. Try spinning the cable inside the casing. It binds.

I bought one from the good ole local Nissan dealer. Spendy ($85), but the quality difference is remarkable. This was a real case of getting what you pay for.

Whatever you do, pull out the cable and grease it up good before you install.

Wow, you found one at a dealer...i didnt think they would stock that. Can i ask what dealer?

Get the correct part number and try http://www.nismoparts.com. They pull from several Nissan dealers. I got a a/c expansion valve for a 1979 810 from them when no one else could find it. If anyone can get it, they can.

EDIT: The part number for a 70 240Z speedo cable according to the a customer service rep at nismo is B5050-N4701

Well, Actually, they ordered for me. I think it came from the Sac. warehouse. You should be abke to have your dealer get it. It only took a few days. If you want my dealer info, PM me. These parts guys are the best. But they are in Oregon.

I called my dealer and they want $141 if its available....i will keep checking. Thanks for all your help

Try Courtesy Nissan. They bend over backwards to help the Z car community, and they will ship the part to you.
