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!!!!!!!

      If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?

      Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.
