Odometer Stopped!

[chrissyo]

ok so my car has just hit 100k km and the odometer and trip meter have stopped! Its reading exactly 100k and i have NFI whats going on

How do i diagnose the problem? is it common?

Help please

Nissan do this, it means you have the special million dollar winning car,

Nah, but unscrew the 4 screws in the speedo, pull it out, check the speedo cable is plugged in properly, if it is, then check the sensor at the other end(gearbox end is still working, follow the cable up, sometimes they snap, if it's buggered just get a new speedo cable, if it's not, then you might need to take it to a mechanic, something must be stopping it from spinning)

i find it hard to believe its the cable. ill get a photo the odomoter is is PERFECTLY on 100k km would be a very big coincidence for it to give way on that reading dont you think?

'96 r33 gts-t series 2

If the speedo and P/S are still working, then it shouldn't be a problem with the cable.

The Japanese seem less opposed to fiddling odometers (winding them back). It's possible some sort of damage was done that prevents the odometer going past 100k.

The R33 speedos/instrument clusters aren't cable driven from my knowledge. R32's they are. R33's they aren't.

But as said it's possible it is due to odometer tampering.

[chrissyo]

Just to confirm the speedo itself is working fine as is the rest of the dash cluster. all thats stoped is trip meter and the odometer.

where am i starting? pull the whole thing appart and check for damaged cogs or??????????????/

I have the same problem as mine started to play up at 75000kms and fixed itself.

It has now hit 80000kms and wont budge, even the trip meter has stopped.

So I pulled it apart today and had a look seemed easy enough but I couldn't find anything wrong so I just pushed the odometer numbers gently past 80000 with a small screwdriver.

Dunno if this has worked yet as my radiator is out and I cant drive it.

Will let you know as soon as I do tho.

On a side note my boost guage seems to be playing up.

When Im idling the guage reads 0 pressure not vacuum, but when I start to boost it it climbs up.

Also noticed that when the car is off it falls down to 7 deg vacuum.

Any ideas????

[chrissyo]

yeah? make sure you let me know how it goes!

I didnt notice any problems with mine before it just stopping.

Boost gauge is also fine

I have exactly the same problem.......

the ODO meter stop when reaching 89999kms

yes, four 9 and doesn't go past the 90000kms!

and the trip meter also stopped........

I opened it up and can see nothing wrong

went to wrecker to buy a used one.

realise that the one I had......doesn't have the P, R, N, D, 1, 2......at the centre......

so I am guessing it is for a manual car

and now maybe I could understand why the O/D light doesn't turn on

so what's the reason behind the not running odometer?

i heard that when your car is moving, you shouldn't reset the trip meter..........but I need confirmation about that lol

and also I think it stopped before I reset -_-"

in the odometer it has little gears see if they are still conected together also chek the tabs if they have a liittle bit of play and not lockin the numbers

This is what we were concerned about at 5 mins to midnight on 31/12/99 eh?

Had an N13 that did the same thing, and after about 2 months, the odo moved on. Might have been after speed hump rather than a chicane.... Silly isn't it!

Rubber Mallet? I'll LOL if that works!

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

take it as a blessing, leave it till u wanna sell it, theng et it fixed and sell it with lower ks

[Duncan]

the car's odometer just stopped in shock when it realised it was the second time it had clicked over 100,000klm I guess they wound it back a fair way.

no idea how to fix it but it is pretty common with these cars

[H@ME]

pull it apart and look for the cogs from memory there is one white one and severl black ones, check to see if they are all lined up and "meshing" nicely in there, also make sure no damage to the shaft and that everything is plugged in! Gl hame.

[Stormchaser]

I fixed mine by pulling the speedo part out of the cluster and gently pushing the gears that move the numbers past 80000kms

Put it all back together and volia its working.... till I hit 85000kms.

Will let you know what happens then.
