Odometer


Recommended Posts

  • 2 years later...

Sorry to dig up an old thread but this happened to my R33 today. Odometer (including trip meter) stopped working, stuck on 89,XXXkms now..

Any opinions on whether it's better to repair or replace? I think I might just get it repaired so I can keep the genuine (or not so genuine.. as the case may be) kms. If it stops working is that a definite sign of tamperage.. kinda dissapointed cause I thought my k's were genuine (judging from condition of car). How does the R33's odometer work? I think i saw in this thread or another that it's electric?

I'm tempted to leave it cause I hate watching the K's get closer to 100k but a) I dont want to be dodgy and B) prolly already done 100k lol..

Also, I'm in Northern NSW.. only place close I've found that might fix it is in grafton so may as well go up the coast.. Gavin Woods you reckon?

cogs, take the dash out, just a few screws, then there are 3 plugs behind the dash which you can unplug and then take the plastic cover off the dash and get like a little needle or something and give the last digit which is km a push along like so that it shows the number, and then plug the 3 things back into the back and take the car for a drive just to see if the odometer starts working again which it should. if not ss automotive sells the cluster, they are alot cheaper then just jap from memory.

ive taken my cluster out about 6 times in the last 2 months.... i've given up now... everytime i take it out.. i play with the cogs and it starts working again (sometimes just taking it out makes it start working).

Once it stops its screwed i'd say...it will just keep randomly stopping / starting..

Just buy a used one and hope it also doesnt stop i guess..

thats what im gonna do

I had a similar problem... if you take the odometer assembly out, look for the white connector. My problem was a loose connection there. I ran the car for a while with the instrument cluster apart, if i applied pressure to the the white connector the odometer would tick over, if i took my finger off it would stop. Have a look there....

Anyone who bought recently from a yard and has a dodgy odometer should take it back and:

1. Get it fixed

2. Get the timing belt changed by them (as you cannot be sure of how many kms the car has done).

I had the same thing from day one, odometer would start and stop. Got the seller to do the belts at 68,000kms (supposedly).

I have now added another 100,000kms and changed the timing belt myself since.

Anyhow... be aware that if your odometer is iffy, then you should do the timing belt as soon as possible (for the price of doing this it is great insurance that your engine will not go bang).

Dam, all these 93 model cars with 50-60 thousand K's on the clock is funny. My car has close to 150,000Km on the clock and its a 96 Series 2. I reckon its fair to say that they are pretty original, but you never know.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
