Hi all,
I have recently purchased a 1996 largo highway star to do up for family days out and the odd camping trip.
I have done some research into them prior to purchase and found good feedback on them so delighted with my deal so far!!!

I am after some advice in the following areas:
What alloy size fits a standard largo?
What speaker sizes in front and back can I replace the current speakers with?
Is it possible to change Kim's to mphs with the current unit or do I need a seperate one?
Where can I get new bushes for the largo

Tank you in advance for any advice offered!

Regards

The speedo can be converted via a chip but someone on here with more know how will help u on that.
I've fitted 6 inch in front doors in mine, there is step by step pic and info on forum regarding this.

First off welcome to the club :)

Both the chip and Tommy's soldering method will convert both the odometer/trip and the speedo needle to MPH.
Tommy's method is best as it is the proper way to do it as Nissan them selves would. Link below.

The other way is to replace the Speedo face with a dual MPH/KMH dial. £9.95 delivered from eBay.
This method will also leave the odometer/trip reading KMH. If you choose to do this method you need to be very careful removing the speedo needle as it can be damaged on removal. Also when you put the needle back on you will need to connect the pod to your Largo and switch on the ignition before replacing the needle.

Like I said before Tommy's soldering method is the best and probably the easiest way to convert. If you keep the original face you can cover the K on KM/H with a piece of black vinyl or insulation tape to make it say M/H. Purely cosmetic though :)
