        That doesn't work unless it's off by a consistent amount.  In this
case it's reading a percentage high apparently; sounds like 20-30% high.
Take it to a speedo shop, or send it to Nissonger.

        It's you're using non-stock tires/wheels/rear-end, don't forget
to include that info in the calibration.  And use rolling radius, not
just running a tape around the tire, or use manufacturer's spec for rolling
radius.
