reset odometer legally?
 

i have a my00 gc8 with standard wrx odometer currently showing 143,000kms.. I am putting in a new engine and 6 speed with dccd and i was thinking it would be nice to also buy a sti cluster with the dccd pattern so I know where it is at. Similar to this:

How do i got about kms? Is there somebody who can reset and install the sti cluster legally with 0kms. It would be good to get a receipt saying the old cluster was removed with 143,000 amount of kms and new one installed with 0kms. Therefore I will easily know how many kms are on the engine, and when i need to service it, and also if i add the 143,000kms to it, I can know how many the chassis has traveled. And then prove that the kms are legitimate when the time comes to sell..

Cheers

i have a feeling that cluster you posted wont fit your gc, you will need the cluster with the three green plugs so thats version V and VI only, thought you should know that in case you were gonna buy that cluster you posted.

Ive changed mine to the jdm ra cluster and just recorded the kms for services etc, as long as i know they are legitimate myself i couldnt care less :D im pretty sure ive seen someone do a reset on a cluster on rexnet tho!

you cant legally reset it to 0km as your vehicles chassis has not done 0km

There are shops that can update the replacement cluster to your current kms. That is the only legal thing you can do.

I've never used any of these places, but they say they can do instrument cluster repairs. Give them a call and if you find someone, post it up for others to use.

also try AISAT Instruments in canning vale, they do a good job
but you can only set your current km's otherwise its illegal

AISAT will reset to current km's. Get them to record the k's on the invoice & keep this with your log book. This will be your proof of km's on the vehicle when it comes time to sell.

That cluster you have a link to won't go into a MY00. As mentioned above, the ones you need have green connectors.

I used AISAT and they were good, although as per the other posts that was only to current chassis kms. Only way I could see you winding up with 0 kms is to buy a new cluster.

Or buy the machine from eBay UK, they used to sell them years ago and they did any digital speedo to whatever km's you want.

With any speedo change you must legally tell the new owner what the correct chassis km is on the sale of the vehicle.......I don't see why you can't go to Subaru and buy a new speedo with 000km on it if your old one shits itself and have it recorded........if it can be read.
