Does anyone here know how to fix the clock in an r32 gtr. Apparently its very common and that most r32 gtr owners

have the same problem. Is it the fuse under the left hand side of the steering column maybe needs changing or does it have a fuse in the fuse box? Im sure someone out there knows or has fixed it!

Thanx Guys!

If you've got an aftermarket stereo, there's a good chance whoever installed it just wired it straight to the battery with an in-line fuse. Just check none of the blade fuses are blown first before you do anything else.

Very common issue. Normally isn't a fuse either. Auto Sparky quoted me $180 to fix it (they apparently have to take the dash apart)

The clocks in a hard to see position anyway

nope. not in a hard spot really at all.

take the cover off that if your in your drivers seat covers from about your shins to your knees (6 screws from memory but don't get caught because one is on the side of the dash that faces the drivers door) and lay with your head at the pedals and feet hanging out the door. (move the seat back as far as it'll go and steerig wheel up as high as it goes) and you'll see the back of the clock with 1 plug in it and 2 screws.

undo the screws, slide the whole thing out and undo the plug when you're sitting out in the driver seat (has a fair bit of slack)

there are 4 dry solder joins under the clock screen on 30 ohm resistors and these are the common problem. takes about 15 minutes to get it out if you have no clue what you're doing but i strongly strongly suggest you take it to an electronics shop to get the clock screen removed and the the soldering done as the screen is unbelievably easy to break and then you are screwed. (about $350 to buy a new clock from nissan) seriously thinking about doing it my self though. got the clock out about 10 minutes ago and looking at it now. don't think i'll risk it though , i'll be good. :)

if you live near flagstaff hill sa i'll help you get the clock out. take me about 20 minutes to get it out and have all the dash back in for driving till you want the clock back in.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
