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.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
