when i got my gtr the clock didnt work but didnt worry me, and my head light switch s##t it self and got one on ebay and come with dash surround with clock so i chucked it in and works fine, i have heard they are just cheap

Cheers Chris, I've just replaced my headlight switch so perhaps I should give my clock another go.

I did a search on clocks and turned up this post: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=3723&hl=clock#

The author mentions something about the power for the clock running from the headunit power?

My headunit is aftermarket. What about you Matt and Steve?

Food for thought, hopefully have time to have a look tomorrow.

Yeah, mine is an aftermarket JVC head deck.

You reckon the installer might of unplugged the clock and not reconnected it.

Could be a good guess.

I tried those 2 fuses marked "Electronic Parts", buggered if i know what they do, installing and removeing a fuse did nothing, as far as i could tell!!LOL!!!

the clock should have 4 wires going into it, earth, constant 12v, ignition, and illumation.

both the ingtion and constant 12v wires should be on fuses.

I just took a look at the clock.

I have 12.20V constant and 12.20V ignition. I have tried two clocks and I'm stumped.

Next I'll pull the clock apart and see what I can see. Maybe, just maybe I have two dead clocks...?

The clock only fails when the boost has been raised above factory levels. The sneaky Nissan engineers cleverly designed the clock to fail when the AFM voltage exceeded a certain level. When the owners complained of the clock not working, the Nissan dealers simply plugged in the Consult diagnostics tool and noted that the boost level was excessive. This then gave them the evidence needed to refuse engine warranty claims later on.

Or on second thoughts.........maybe the clocks are just cheap pieces of crap.

My car was dyno'd and displayed 12psi. It is a stock ECU with stock turbos and stock AFMs. I thought that was about right? Hrmmm. The highest I've seen my AFM voltage is in the vicinity of 3V - I thought they max out at 5V...?

I appreciate your post Gav but I'm not sure as I've not seen how to use Consult to check the boost level. Which Consult program are you using? I've used different laptop and PDA software and haven't come across boost.

Do you remember your info source please? I'm keen to learn more.

Cheers!

Sorry - just me being obtuse and starting another "conspiracy theory"

Definately just a poor quality clock - probably as a result of going way over budget on the development of the GT-R and the production budget had probably dried up by the time they got to finishing bits like the clock.

well i have noticed that as i increase launch rpm my clock reads 00:03, 00:02, 00:01 then 00:60... also when chicks with ample rack walk past it often switching into a flashing mode where it flashes 80:08 on and off until they are out of sight?! other than that it works fine. in fact both my 32 clocks work fine. praise the son of rajab!

Yeah mine clock also does not work when I got the car.

I took the dash off once to fix my speedo cable and when I plugged everything back the clock came back. but after a few days it dissapeared again.

Hope you guys can find out the cause of it and I'll give it a try again. GL

Mine's never worked and was led to believe that it was a common occurence. I started the thread linked to above (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3723), but nothing ever came of that thread :woot:

I would love to have a clock in the car; I'm getting sick of looking at my mobile for the time...

I agree, totally sick of not having a clock and there is no way im buying a nasty stick-anywhere clock. It would be dynamite if there was a smick looking aftermarket clock that fit nicely into the origional opening. Wishful thinking, hopefully someone comes up with something :P

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
