If a worn or broken 1979-1983 Nissan 280ZX speedometer cable has left your needle bouncing or your odometer frozen, the Pioneer Automotive Industries Speedometer Cable CA-3078 is designed to carry the drive from the transmission up to the gauge. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1979-1983 Nissan 280ZX with all engines, and the listed application uses one cable.
Pioneer builds its cables as a quality replacement alternative, made to OE specs:
- Steel inner cable: A durable steel inner cable transmits rotation to the speedometer.
- Polymer outer housing: Shields the inner cable from corrosion and abrasion.
- Built to OE specs: Manufactured to original-equipment specifications.
- Country of origin: Taiwan.
Signs a speedometer cable may need replacing include a needle that flutters or swings, a speedometer and odometer that stop reading, or a ticking or whirring noise from behind the instrument panel. A faulty gauge or drive gear can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If the cable is the problem, CA-3078 replaces it.
