Hey guys! Is it possible to DIY speedometer recalibration somehow? Mine is showing ~9% more speed than all of my gps devices.

We are trying to see whether it is the wheels throwing your speedo off.

My speeedo has been 9% off since I purchased the car in 2009.
I have a $45 GPS speedo that projects onto the windscreen, runs off a mini USB charger. Nissan is deliberately conservative with speed calibration and calibration is not owner modifiable that I have been able to discover |

Mine has 26.6" diameter tires on rear & is slow about 3%,,, a 27" would put it on spot (27.2"-like a 345/30/19MPSS)

This is typical of what car manufacturers do, supposedly to 'protect' you from inadvertently speeding. I believe that they're allowed to go as high as 10%, for the indicated speed to be above the actual speed. Maybe I'm weird but I'd rather the speedometer be accurate and I make the choice as to how fast I'm going, don't need a car nanny to protect me from myself.

Good point, but OP has not been here since 2017. He does not care anymore about an eight year old thread.
