Hi

Ive got a weird thing happening with my s1 dash, i can start the car and drive with everything fine then stop at the shops and when i start it again i'll have no tacho or speedo and sometimes the fuel and temp gauges go to full.

This could then last all day or dissappear next time i turn it off, on the odd occasion its even put up 999999 on the oddometer. All other functions continue work as nomal during the hissy fits.

Ive had the dash out check the earths and connections all seem fine.

I think there has to be some sort of relay controling the power to these parts of the dash as it only faults on start up but have had no luck finding one.

Has anyone else come accross this prob or have a wiring diagram for the dash and loom to help me sort this issue.

Cheers Daz

I have had a similar problem with speedo and rev counter freezing. The first time i took the battery lead off and put it back on to fix it but the second time i just turned the igntion off and on again. It hasn't happened for some time now. I think I saw a previous post saying that it could be caused during installation of an aftermarket stereo.

If its any help i had a problem in my S2 where I was driving along and all of a sudden the dash went out and everything stopped working e.g. speedo, rev counter and so on. Car drove OK though, I went home and restarted it a couple of times and no change. I then tried taking out each fuse under the bonnet and gave each a little clean if they looked dirty, hey presto the dash works again. Maybe give that a go and see if it helps

Thanks for the info still have the original stereo but i will poke around in that area tomorrow.

I had pulled every fuse out from the dash but not under the bonnet will try that as well.

Cheers

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
