Hi Guys,

My GTR odomoter has been working when it feels like it, and more often than not NOT ticking over.

It started ever since i pressed it while driving, and it seems to have got stuck somehow?

Anyway i am going to pull it out this weekend to see if i can fix it but i was wondering is this type of thing fixable or should i scrap it and buy a new cluster?

Cheers,

Harry

Don't buy a really expensive cluster because it has low kms, they are really easy to set the kms on properly.

Did mine myself and haven't had any problems with it.

I think I still have a guide on how I did it on my PC somewhere, if you want it PM me. You maybe able to use the sketches I made to fix the one you have, or you can always just get a new one and use the guide to set the kms to where yours was.

It's a good idea to keep your old one so you can prove the kms to others.

Also Duncan, don't be such a negative nancy. That is one explaination. Believe it or not but things in cars do actually break/stop working, especially when they are old. Don't say shit like put a low km cluster in it, sounds very dodgey and you can get in trouble for it.

dang I'm a nancy.first time I've been called that I think. but I am still pretty confident there are very few cars that make it through the jap auctions, export, import and compliance without tens of thousands of klm getting wound off :) Good on you Mathew for keeping the correct klm but I am willing to bet you are in a very small minority....

Thanks Slim_Mat, it really annoys me when people just assume that the klms have been wound back without having all the facts.

1. I mentioned that it stopped working immediatley after a pressed it whilst driving(which is quite common from my research ).

2. I only wanted suggestions as to how to fix or whether to buy a new one.

3. Before i purchased the car i had a full comp test and made sure that klms where representative of other wear/tear marks of the car.

Duncan is correct in saying that somewhere between Japan and Australia the k's go missing in most cars .

The most likely problem with yours is the the oddo driver itself and you can't buy it on its own from Nissan, another cluster is your only option is this is the problem.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
