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

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
