My speedo doesn't work occasionally... usually after a little while it just flicks up to the speed I'm going. One time it didn't move for like 5 minutes so being annoyed at it I tapped the plastic in front of the speedo and it flicked right up straight away. So now each time I just give it a little flick. =p

Your problem is probably a little different because you said everything else doesn't seem to work. Me posting my little story probably didn't help very much...

No thats fine i can use any adivice i can find. i tried tapping the cluster but i wouldnt make a difference. I took to the mechanic who put in all my mods cause the problem happened after i got my computer. They couldnt fix it though. The took the whole cluster out and all.

I'm having that exact problem with my r33! any luck with fixing it? mine has been getting worse, dropping out more often and getting harder to 'flick' back up! I did find that pushing in the trip button on the speedo gets it working again too. i've pulled the cluster out and tightened screws, wires etc, but same issue always comes back. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this would be great, very annoying problem!

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
