How do fix a stopped one? mine currently stopped at around 92km i took everything out to see what was wrong checked the km on the spedo the gears seems to b working. put it bak together it worked then suddenly it stopped again!

What could be wrong? an auto electrician said it could be the sensor or something on the gear box? possibly i reckon.

any one else know?

cheers

If you haven't sussed this out already then I would ask ; (1) Is both kph & total kms not functioning? If both not functioning then (2) Beg/borrow/steal substitute sensor to eliminate sensor? (3) Check wiring loom/connectors for dodgy connection.

If one part (kph or total) works & other not the problem most likely in panel meter. Bad/corroded connection, cracked cct board?

Jason, I'm pretty sure that's faulty connection to the reverse sensor. Mine does it as well, but because mine used to auto, the buzzer turns on and off randomly.

I'm going to throw it on the hoist at work and have a looksie. I'll let you know how it goes.

yeah i bought my r34 auto and after about a week my entire dash died (speedo went to zero tacho went to zero total kms driven blanked) this went in and out for about 4 months then seemed to fix itself.... nowadays it does it maybe once a month or so.... just thought i'd throw my 2 cents in...also when my car is in reverse it makes a nice reminder beep but every so often its becomes a horrible slow buzz sound like the battery is dyin?? any idea what may be wrong???

cheers

    • The boot notch on the GK Tech rods is different to OEM yes. You'll find a solution. They are a good rod, I have used many of them for various setups, and no they are not ' just for drift cars', they are fine as an OEM replacement. Same goes for the tie rod ends although I found they transmitted a huge amount of NVH a normal balljoint masks, making it feel like there was something loose or knocking, even though there wasn't. If you used the same pieces on each side, no reason one angle should be different to the other side. Have you checked ride heights/measured the angles? Or just visual? Your alignment will be massively out of whack yes. Up to you; it is worth taking the time to learn wheel alignments and do it yourself. I have never had better wheel alignments and I haven't taken my car to a shop for, dunno...many many years. Spend a few hundred on equipment, do alot of research via online articles, youtube vids, and "trial and error" on setups. Eg, set it with too much toe-out, toe-in, too much or little caster, drive the same stretch of awesome twisty mountain road each time, learn how they feel and how the car's handling has reacted to your changes.

    • Nah I did not will have to another time. I only installed a blitz return flow FMIC probably 1000kms ago. When I took the old piping off there was basically no oil in piping. At this stage it has to be valve stem seals. When I roll down a big hill in gear and then throttle down the bottom, I get the same puff of smoke.
    • I believe when they added coolant to cool the turbo it negated the need for turbo timers as water continues to flow even when the engine is shut off I forget the actual terminology, I'll just say the coolant "percolates" through the turbo which stops the oil cooking itself to death  Well....that's how I see it, as all the plant at work that has coolant lines to the turbo can be shut down straight away, whereas the older plant with only oil feed to the turbo you need to idle it for a few minutes
