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?

yesterday u wanted a 320kmh speedo to see how fast u were going on public roads cause 180 limited wasnt enough... so the thread is removed

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?

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
