hi all, i just recently noticed my tacho doing crazy things, it either does as in the video, or hesitates for a moment

then keeps going, also the rpm displayed is slightly off as well, it does it when driving or when reving at stand still, all the

other gauges read correctly. do you think the dash cluster is on its way out or could it be another problem?

any suggestions would be awesome guys :) thanks

Where would he get a speedo cable from? You guessing or has someone actually had this problem?

I'm just assuming that the speedo cable is the problem. You can get speedo cables from wreckers, but they could be stuffed aswell. Best to get one new from Nissan. I think it was about $100.

R33 doesnt have speedo cable its electronic!!!!!!

Not to mntion his problem was with the tacho not speedo lol...

Pretty sure its a cold solder joint or similar that causes it on the back of the dash cluster, just buy a new cluster off ebay or wrecked r33, alternatively, it gives you a good excuse to upgrade to a nismo 320km/h dash cluster ;)

:rofl: I didn't realise 33's didn't have these speedo cables. I just assumed that the tacho problem was related to the speedo cable. :(

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
