My tacho has just started doing weird things.

I have a 95 r33 S1.5 skyline. The std tacho for no reason will stick on say 3000rpm as you drive normally or idle, then it may move to 4000rpm, then maybe 6000rpm. and when it moves it will be slowly. Then it may go back to normal and move with the engine rpm. Even sometimes when you turn the key on (but not start the car) it will jump up too 2000rpm. Now i disconnected the CAS and pulled the ECU out and when you turn the key to on it will still jump up. Now i have a piggyback haltech and when the car is running i can see the rpm is normal. So it's just on the tacho signal wire that there is a problem. Has anyone come accross this? Or does anyone have any idea's?

Thank You

      WGNC34 Rear springs

      By zoomzoom · Posted

      I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.

      I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it.

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Save the youtube time, I can explain in a couple of sentences:   Internal Combustion Engines run on smoke which is factory installed. If at any time the smoke escapes (generally via the exhaust), the engine will stop running.

      RB26dett R33 gtst swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      That specific R33 GTST issue I ran across was putting a PowerFC into a series 2; it required a fuse added into an existing but unused circuit to fire up the PFC. That won't be the issue here as I assume the ECU powered up (OP surely would have mentioned if they couldn't connect). As Matt said, Haltech do have specific information about wiring in the Platinum Pro where there are minor differences across the 2 row plug models (R32/R33 from memory). Quick Start guide at this link: https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-055101-platinum-pro-plug-in-ecu/# At a quick glance, it is more likely to be a local wiring issue than ECU wiring (eg that connector near the left headlight might have differences) Start with the age old question....are you getting fuel and spark, at the right time

      New lightweight, square wheel/tyre combo for the E90

      Stay away from Enkeis for track use, they crack, just ask the Evo kids. I'd take Murray's advice and put the widest forged wheels in the right offset under them I could find
