Hey everyone,

Just had the 32 GTR comp tested and leak down tested (all good) but ever since that, the tacho has been going crazy. It's fine for a few minutes, then out of the blue it jumps from 1k to 11k and then all over the place! Then it goes to 0 and then stays at 0 for about 20 seconds and then reads fine again.

It does it on a completely random basis. Most of the time it won't do it at all.

Would this be a faulty wire somewhere? Strange for it to happen right after the testing though, as I never had a problem before that! If it was a dash mechanical fault, would it do this all the time?

It's a Nismo 320k dash.

Cheers

has it done it again since you msgd me daniel? if it has start off by checking the plugs on the back of the dash,sometimes they can come loose and cause problems if that doesnt fix it it could also be a dry solder joint on the board.did you put the cluster in or was it already in when you bought the car?

Haha yeah dude, it was happening randomly after I messaged you. Yeah the dash came with the car - it was only ever taken apart a few months back to get the headlight switch fixed. It's not happening as much anymore, but I might rip out the dash this week, or I'll get Shaun to look at it next Tuesday when I take the car in!

I still gotta get that parker fixed, too. lol

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
