Pioneer Automotive Industries Speedometer Cable P/N:CA-3030
Replace a worn, noisy or broken 280Z speedometer cable with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Speedometer Cable CA-3162, a direct-fit replacement for the 1975-1978 Nissan 280Z, 1974-1975 Nissan 260Z and 1970-1973 Nissan 240Z. The cable carries rotation from the speedometer drive to the gauge in the instrument cluster, so the speedometer can register road speed.
Pioneer builds its cables as a high-quality replacement alternative, pairing a steel core with a protective outer jacket:
Signs a speedometer cable may need replacing include a needle that bounces or flutters, a speedometer that stays at zero while the car is moving, or a ticking or whining noise from behind the instrument cluster. A faulty speedometer head or drive gear can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the cable. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full application details.

Pioneer cables often include common brackets, grommets and ends where the application calls for them. What is included can vary by application.
