my odometer in my 33 stopped ticking over today ... so I've got a few q's

1.What do you think is the likely cause?

2. What do I need to fix this?

3. How much will it cost.

also a couple of days ago the speedo started to jump around every now and again what do you think would be causing this... I've heard its just a sensor that will need changing?

when my odometer stopped working i was told that the same sensor that drives it also drives the spedo itself....so if your still getting a speed reading then its not the sensor...unless i was told the wrong thing.

From what i looked into its likely to be the cogs themself inside the speedomoter. Basically have to pull it apart and see if anything looks out of place(google it theres heaps there although not skyline specific its all the same)

Having said that i CBF and after about 6weeks it started working again on its own!!

I have had my Skyline for six years and up till 120,000k's it did this on a regular basis. After a couple of days it will start working again or maybe a week who knows. On one occassion it didn't work for two weeks and then I started it after filling up and it spun the dials till it caught up with the k's I'd done. I was amazed when that happened. Also, your tacho may stop working intermittantly but will start on it's own. If you have had a unichip or PFC installed this is usually the culprit as wires have been tampered with especially with the unichip. With the tacho just take ECU out and put back just enough to move wires around. Of course like me you need to at some stage go through all wiring at the ECU and check for faults then resolder and heat shrink wrap.

yeah mate, the problem is in the speedo. there is a gear that runs of a motor that turns the numbers over. i'm pretty sure it is the same size gear in most other cars. (eg commodores, falcons etc.) do plenty of these at work. its only a plastic gear, so it breaks easy over time. an auto elect should be able to do it for you, just make sure he removes all of the broken teeth. it only takes 1 to stop the ordometer from working. hope this helps.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
