Issues & Defects from factory

My speedo is also close to 10% over actual speed, this really annoys me. Having to calculate your actual speed if you are coming up to a speed camera is ridiculous. I don't think it unreasonable to expect my speedo to tell me my correct speed. Apparently in Australia speedos are allowed to read up to 10% high, but they must not read lower than actual speed.
Why they can't get it closer than 10% I don't understand. It is to improve the 0-100 times (actually 0-91) ? Does anyone know how it would be adjusted in Nissan did it ? Is it an electronic adjustment ? Can the Dealer Service do it ?
I am hoping that a new set of 19" rims with different profile tyres will make the speedo read a bit closer to what it should be anyway.
