hey guys

my tacho seems to be dead...sumtimes it flickers, but most of the time it just drops down past 9000rpm (at the end of the gauge) and doesnt move, then sometimes it might start boucing around the 6 - 7k area wen ur really doing around 1500rpm....

what could it be?

has this happened to anyone before, whats the solution?

thanks :(

Pointer detached from pointer shaft easyiest fixed, nackered tacho pickup maybe, bad earth maybe (but if nothing else is playing up this is unlikely), obscure electronic fault fixed by Nissan by replacing complete unit. :unhappy:

Hope you get it sorted economically,

Cheers GW

where is the tacho pickup? could it be a loose connection or anything

yeh everything else works fine....

thanks

Loose connection is as you say also a possibility but if this is the case why don't all tacho pointers hang low when ignition off/no power? I would ask myself how can the pointer perform this trick & to me at least the answer is "it has somehow become mechanically disconnected from pointer spindle" to be able to float around &/or dangle at random in the manner you have described. I do not know where your tacho pickup might be placed, I have not had to dig into this to date, if I did need to I would be wading through the Japanese service manual floating around the forum environs (google) but I am sure others have this knowledge at their fingertips.

Time to visit a Skyline/Jap import friendly autospark in your neck of the woods I think.

Sorry can't be more helpful.

Good luck GW :)

Hope this is on topic but my speedo is out by aproximatly 1/2 so when i doing 30kmph it says i doing 15kmph. any suggestions?

Best option ; Re-scale dial 0 - 360kph? :)

Seriously, has this problem existed ever since your conversion to 25DET? Or has it popped up out of the blue? There are range jumpers on the cct board for the speedo/tacho array, discussed in depth on this forum in the "White dial 320kph group buy thread". Check it out & see what you come up with.

My 2c

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
