Hi guys, i've had my car nearly 3yr now. and recently as i was just driving i notice my "km meter" on the dash stopped clicking! :P i tried to reset it obiously nothing happened.

So then i took everything apart took the dash out n the spedo cluster n such, figure out why it stopped i thought there would b a loose gear or something but it seems to b fine. i put everything back together, start driving n it worked again! but after 3-4km it stopped again!

i dont understand why. faulty taco? or something with a sensor on the gearbox which isnt reading it well or what could it be?

Much appreciated guys if you can help me :D

cheers =)

I see, so that means i have to change the one piece of the speed cluster only, where the km guage is on? as u can pull apart each section of the cluster.

So its nothing with the sensor on the gearbox?

I've got a problem with my speedo needle not moving... ...and so the Km's don't roll up... ...Playing havoc with my fuel and mileage calculations... ...But means that I can claim my car hasn't done as many Km's when it comes to selling it... :laugh:

My 95 R33 done the same thing till 104,000km, I tapped the tacho and it would start moving again. Seems to get stuck moving 9X,999, the bottom one will stop at 235X.

Mine has contunied to work ever since now up to 114,000km.

on the back of the silvia taco/cluster theres a small plug that you can pull out to stop the Ks from ticking over and stops trip meter

some might think thats awesome

it is till you try and figure out how many Ks your car has done and is it due for a service

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
