Odometer

[Guest FlyGuy]

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?

well you can buy a whole cluster or fix the existing one.

Looks like they've done the dodgy on the odometer. Get a professional to open it if you want it fixed. Apparently the needles are very touchy.

Or as mentioned, get a new one.

Mine did the same thing.

My b/f pulled the cluster out and just fiddled around with a couple of things and it started working again...I think they must just get stuck and need a push along.

I have a standard speedo in great working order if you need it.

Mine is a Nismo 300km dash so its obviously been tampered with at some stage..unfortunately...

[Kazama]

if they stop or are out of alignment there been wizzed back!

no questioning it

[Miss*33]

They have all been whizzed back....all the Jap imports seem to have between 50 and 60 thousand k's when they get here!!!

[hippy]

thats true ... agree with miss 33

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 !!

[kik-ass]

I've got a series 1 speedo in perfect cond with about 63000km on it for $100 too, selling it because I got a nismo one.

[mario]

no chance anyone has cluster with close to around 35000 on it? (im dreaming arent i)

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?

Mario

as long as it's manual, not auto it will work fine. I am in Noosa, PM if you're interested and we'll work something out

[mario]

private msgs sent hour or so ago

be interesting to see how long this gavin woods would require the car to fix the odometer, as i cant see any of my mates driving 30mins to bring me back home while he has the car for a few days ..heheh

how much did it cost u for ur odometer/throttle body fix?

[kik-ass]

Sorry Mario, didn't see that, I have Pm'd you back

[NismoGirl]

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.
