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. :(

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
