R32 Speedo Problem?

[SL1D1N]

A mate has recently bought a r32 and we need to get a roady on it, but the speedo in the cluster seems to hunt around, like it will rise with accelerartion but will be way off the actual speed and the needle iteslf kind of goes up and down while its still rising.

any ideas??

Hi, if it is a mechanical job, ie., speedo cable for drive connection, magnetic rotor & drag cup for speed/position/eddy current transmission to pointer assy then I'd say speedo cable nackered or foreign bodies between magnetic rotor & drag cup or both. If electronic I have no idea as never pulled one apart to looksee how it works. Sorry.

anyone know if its mechanical or elctrical?

its mechanical.

its caused by the cable binding up and/or the plastic part that drives the cluster being worn.

90 - 100 bucks brand new from nissan for the whole arrangement
