I bought new tacho dials and installed them into my r32 yesterday and everything worked well this morning on the way to work. Then this arvo when i got in the car the speedo and the odometer don't work and the rpm gauge just jumps and is really stiff when you take off. I pulled it apart again and had a look but everything still seems to be plugged in. Is it that i just need a complete new Instrument cluster or could it be something else?

I pulled the dash out again today to have a look and all the plugs seem to be clicked in properly so the only thing that i think could be wrong is the part the turns the needle on the speedo musn't work or might be unplugged somewhere. Does anyone know if it could be unplugged or where i could get it repaired? Its the gold coloured bit in the pics

Without the specifics, it's hard to tell you what exactly needs to be done the right way... however, some times the wires for thos tacho dials might be broken and hence sparking some time for shortcircuit... I would take everything out again and see if the car runs better... if so, then get a replacement for those Tachos...

The car runs fine now it's just the speedo and odometer. I'm going to try get another speedo cable if i can find one. Anyone know where i could get one from and how much?

That's good news... at least you main concerns have been fixed.

Go to Autobarn, I got one of them - if not, try a wrecker. Good luck. :(

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
