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.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
