Hey Jeffworld, tried to reply to your PM but your inbox is full, let me know when there's space and I'll re send the PM.

alternatively, PM Justin911 as he'll be able to answer your question :)

installed this today, everything seemed fine, until i started the car and the needle jumped up to 33km/h at stand still.. not sure what the problem might be? any help?

should i take it apart again and re-adjust the needle?

or could it be my soldiering of the points at the back?

Cheers.

Installed mine today - Looks sweet

Thanks guys for organising this buy - very happy

(I found that it was easier to install the cluster into the car without the clear cover and install the needles whilst the ignition was on to get the correct placement - another hint, make sure you know how much fuel is in the car before you change them over, so you know where your needle is supposed to be pointing)

Now I just need LED's :laughing-smiley-014:

on 2nd though went for drive today i may be lucky and fuel is ok but as i have to redo my speed will be taking dash apart again and going to a dyno to set it up

i modified my tacho gauge so i can see my Slip light and 4WD fault light

Before original Tacho

After installing the Tacho and Dummy Boost gauge :laugh:

p1000669qs5.th.jpg

you can now see my slip light and 4wd warning light

i drilled the my orriginal guage and used that as a template to drill through my new face :)

na no boost gauge cause is factory NA and still doesn't work because no mechanism there but looks the part I've got a after market boost gauge

i actually bought the car turbo and suspect the people who did the job used an engine out of a stagea due to mine being GTS4

if anyone has #6 soldered (mine did for some reason) you need to desolder her

um i would think not the instructions were pretty clear and even showed #6 bridged

in my opinion as per Amec's instructions is how the job should be done

BTW i had mine on the Dyno on Friday the recalibration is spot on so if #6 did need to be de-soldered then my speedo would of been way out

hehe i had issuing installing mine and i pm'd amec and he said to try de-soldering #6. Also dezz doesnt have #6 on his soldered to start off with. His a 98 model. mines a 96

i tested mine with my pfc speedo and a gps :laugh:

Its wierd cause it seems to work with a few diff combinations... long as its working for everyone though :)

It wouldnt be way out btw, only out by like 5-10km below 100km if it was wrong.

Everyone should have received their kits by now, as I think the last kit was received today ;)

Anyone that hasn't left feedback as yet, it'd be appreciated if you could do so, and I'll return the favor

As far as trader rating feedback goes, it'd be awesome if everyone who participated could do the following

leave feedback for me here : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...r&mid=14874

leave feedback for dez (keeping in mind he is responsible for the majority of the work involved with this group buy) here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=22515&la=0

and also for Amec (feedback on the product itself) here : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...r&mid=27224

If everyone could do that it would be good that the people involved were recognised for their efforts in the GB

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
