The Odometer on my car (R33) has stopped moving, the trip meter doesn't move either. Everything else works like Speedo so I'm a little confused...

I guess it’s been wound back and it hasn't been working now for about 8 months. I've had the instruments out and they look 100% fine. I just didn't have the guts to start removing the dials out of the instrument panel to look inside them for damage…

Does anyone have any suggestions?

My R33 is a series 1, would this speedo work in it? and if so how much?

Also if I do remove my existing speedo section out of the instrument cluster to have a futher look do you need to take the needle out? and if the needle is taken out will this effect the calibration?

Thanks guys.

mines the same guys i have posted a thread in WA asking how i get the bloody thing to work as well! Same deal trip and odo stopped everything else working A1. Mine has also been tampered with on australian soil too so it seems (and i bought it privately and he seems to have tampered with it in the last 6 months of him having it) all it seems be able to do is rip the instrument panel out and have a look yourself or have someone look at it for you. Pain in the butt i know mine has stopped for two months now and be probably another two months befor ei get it seen too.

FlyGuy,,,,sorry I don't know if S1's and S2's are the same,,,,I think they are,,but don't hold me to it. Changing speedo's is piss easy,,,,remove the whole cluster,then un-clip the front screen ,then unscrew the speedo itself by the screws at the back,,,reverse all to re-install. No needle work is required. I'll sell you mine for $100,,,it's in ABSOLUTE PERFECT working order. Has 78655 kays on it....

Hi Guys,

I own a R33 gts25t and my odometer / tripometer have stopped also, and its giving me troubles since im trying to sell it at the moment as well..

A few people on here have mentioned fixing it themselves or taking the dash to an "instrument tech"

Can anyone who has had success fixing these, tell me who / where they took it to get it fixed (im located in brisbane, but if still supply name of business maybe i can find something up here that can do it also)

and/or more detail information about how you went about fixing it yourself.... any help would be greatly appreciated !!

As I just indicated in another thread, I take all the issues with my car to (including fixing the odometer)

I know I sound like a broken record mentioning this guy all the time. But he does good honest work that doesn't cost the earth.

Yes he is at Labrador, but it only takes 30 minutes to get there.

I've suggested many skyline owners take their cars to him and all have had nothing but praise for him.

Mario, Maybe you could get the throttle body and odometer looked at at the same time?

It didn't take long. But I normally take the whole day off work and go down and leave it with them the whole day.

But I'm sure if you ring him and work something out with him, he'd be able to give you a better idea.

I can't comment on the price because it depends on how much work is involved with doing your car.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
