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. :(

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
