Driving home last night, and i put my foot down, the rev needle went up to around 4000, 5000 rpm and started to flicker back down to 0 then up to 5 again...

It kept happenin in a spliut second flick down to 0 then back up again..

I pulled up then took off again and it happened again...only happens when i put my foot down, its like a nervous twitch or something

It has to be something wrong with my electrics? Anyone else had a similar prob and can provide some feedback

Thanks in advance!

if it only happens when u put your foot down which means u are obviously running through the rpms range quite quckly it seem that maybe the motor/system for the tacho has worn or something like that and just cant keep up with the quick rpms to be displayed as it can when u the tacho climbs slowly in normal driving. Or it could be something that pushead stated above. My 2 Cents

what i did with mine is take the entire cluster out of the dash and have a closer look at it. play around with the needle but DO NOT put any pressure on it as you can bend the needle or accidentally change the alignment of it quite easily. The needle has a range 3/4 of the gauge. simply move the needle clockwise and you can feel this with your fingers whether the needle is smooth climb or not. (Note: I held no responsibility if you damage this as the needle is really sensitive) :P :P

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
