A couple of weeks ago my Odometre ticked over to 111000 km's and that's where it stayed! I reset my tripmetre a short time after and now that doesn't work either. I am assuming that both are related :(. Does anyone know how I might fix this, it's starting to p*ss me off and I don't want to go bashing around trying to fix it because I honestly wouldn't have any idea what I am doing...

The exact same thing happened to my R33 speedo, the speedo continued to work but the trip metres both stopped.

I removed the gauge cluster from the dash (I don't trust people that I do not know working on my cars) and I took it to an instrument repair shop. Apparently this is a common problem and for $100 he pulled the speedo apart and replaced the broken part.

Hi - Mine broke too (R33 GTS-T Auto) at about 96000klm , apparently its a common fault , there is a little bracket that breaks inside the speedo , VERY difficult to get to without buggering the whole speedo assembly , I mailed my assembly to Richmond-Tweed instruments who fixed it for $100. He guarantees his fix will NEVER break again!!!!!!!

      Front facing Intercooler

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks.

      American owner: what scanner for JOBD port?

      Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.

      Yeah so physically that port is consult not OBD2, but also be aware that "JODB" is not really a thing - it came in around 2000(ish) but is not a standard like ODB is, each manufacturer had differences. If you are looking at ECU only and have a standard ECU, go with Datascan as Turbo Tapin said. Per another recent discussion here thought that won't do other systems like in a modern car, for example bleeding ABS
