just put a new nismo dash in my r33 GTR and the tacho is reading 2k rpm at idle, with the original dash it read 12500rpm, is there any adjustment or calibration I can do ?

car is running M800 motec if that helps, can the signal be adjusted in the motec ??

dash is brand new out of the box !

Just a thought but what is the real idle ? even 1250 seems somewhat high for an idle at normal running temp to me--but WTF do I know :D

:) yeah 12500rpm is pretty high :D I did mean 1250rpm, its a 2.8l with 272 cams and idles like a top fueller :) love it.........

pretty sure 1250rpm is right ...

so does anyone know how to change it, is it done at the ecu or what ?? there doesn't seem to be any adjustment on the back of the dash??

You got to open up the dash which means the plastic casing and play with the posistion on the needle really a annoying task took me a while to caliberate my gauges when I put el glow lights

really, thats the fix ? open it up and move the needle :blink:

Don't move the needle :blink:

Have you got the Motec software? If so you can check on the ecu what it's reading and see if it's reading the same as the dash (give or take). Pretty sure you can adjust the pulse width of the tacho signal to suit but don't quote me on that.

Idle speed sounds about right at 1100 - 1200 and the tacho won't be able to keep up with the revs anyway, mine doesn't.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
