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.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
