My speedo gets stuck at 60 sometimes and i have to hit my dash to get it to move. Sometimes even, when I put my foot down to go faster, it goes backwards! Does anyone know anybody that can fix this in South Australia? Was thinking of upgrading to a nismo one that reads up to 320 if the price of fixing the stock one is too much, thought it would look better too.

I had someone on here offering me a used cluster for around $150 or something, i'm sure a used one will be just as good as fixing your current one... by the way do you have el dials or something? if they're installed incorrectly it can stop the needle from moving freely.. but by reading it seems like you dont. lol

Sorta want a used one more cos then it'll be cheaper, new ones are like 800+ from japan!

Well, for your information as you seem to want to know, my speedo has been getting stuck at 60 for well over a year and from talking to some people about it they tell me it is a bit of a common thing. I had seen a 320 nismo speedo in a R33 in a mag and thought that would be a nice upgrade, I never actually said i'd be trying to go 320kmph. I'd also seen another R33 with this website on the front bar that had a blitz 340 speedo and thought where better to look for one then asking on this site. Is this such a problem?

today ur speedo "conveniently" gets stuck on 60kmh...

By the way, is there anyway to see all the replies from my other post or has it been erased?

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
