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?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
