My odometer has been stuck for about 3 months now - about time to get it fixed - is it possibly just a disconnected wire that someone can talk me thru reconnecting or is it better to take it somewhere and who does that kinda thing?

My clock was wound back in perth believe it or not - thanks to a service sticker left on my car when i bought it that looked like had nothing on it but when i pulled it off you could see the imprint - next service due Aug 02 or 104,000 - it had 72,000 on the clock when i bought it (which i thought may have been done in japan) so go figure!

Anyway if anyone knows about getting it ticking over again let me know.

Thanks

If the speedo ( ie. speed reading ) is working then the problem is in the speedo head.

afaik there is no separate input for just the odometer.

Would guess it will have to be removed and repaired. Try Aisat Instruments in Kurnall rd Welshpool or TISCO in Railway pde Subiaco.

Could be a good time for the Nismo 320kmh speedo to go with the new found SAU cruising speed:D :lol:

Cheers

Just thought this being more localised if i cant do it myself (because its going to have to be really simple for me to do or pull puppy eyes and get one of my mates to do) anyway back to it i thought that the WA forum would have more of an idea of somewhere local that can fix the prob for me.

yeah thought of Asiat because one of the guys at work have used them - haha yes my evil lil mind was ticking over what i could have put in while they had it pulled apart - if your going to have something done might as well go the whole hog :D

A friend of mine has pulled his mates skyline dash apart to put some god damn ricey red lights or something behind it and he has a fairly good understanding of cars so i was going to ask him (because he managed not to stuff it) but if its a lil more complicated then ill take it to a specialist

my car was a private sale so no point opening up a can of whoop arse on anyone plus your pretty vague if you think a 94 really has 70,000kms on the clock - u just accept that with jap cars comes lil things like that. Its was more that it was a perth wind back and not a jap one like u orignally assume also done not long before i bought the car - i mean 104 is ok for the year - i would of still bought it if they left it like that. But noooooo now i have to go find someone to fix someone elses dodgy work!!!

lucky its just odo stuffed everything else fine.

Aw11 its really not worth it - the cars in really good mechanical shape thats all im concerned about - i know fairly accurately how much its actually done and that doesnt worry me. But cant really keep track of what im doing if its buggered.

My Z31 is an 88 and did only 114,000 i know thats accurate because ive met the guy and basically it only had one owner before me (well there was one guy in between that had to sell it back to yard cos of wife preggers) and i met him - had several other cars as well so it was mostly garaged.

Anyway towards the end of the month i'll pull it apart - then yell for help when i cant get it back in - probably make it worse.

You have to know a bit about the history of the car - from that u can determine if what u are seeing on the clock is real or suspect a bit of foul play.

with my car i know its foul play and aw11 you probably have good reason to believe your kms are real and they probably are - its a general comment doesnt apply to every import but theres a fair chunk out there with fake kms.

Friend of mine has taken one apart before. When it was working i took him for a cruise in my car and he was explaining how it all came apart but i wasnt really taking it all in - wish i tried now. He said it was easy so i might have to get in touch and ask for a demo.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
