My k's aint clicking over ;)

[gatty]

hey guys,

Well the other day i filled up at a shell - was driving down the road and thought i'd check how many k's i can get outta a tank - so i hit the trip metre reset.....as soon as i did the trip metre stoped working (still sitting @ 0000000) and my main KM's odometre is 'stuck' just as it's changing to 64200 km's

i could be happy about this - keeping the k's low etc, but iw ant to service reguarly and keep the car totally legit! I am thinking perhaps a spring has come loose or something?

I know nothing about how they work etc - so i have no fuc|

[doxximus]

keep hitting it a couple of times, thats what i did to mine, been working fine now, just keep pressing the button hard

[NuGGeT]

same thing fixed mine, it was kinda stuck between 0-1

[gatty]

naa - tried that..

done it heaps and hard...could always use a hammer

lol

[sewid]

Same happened to me. You are looking at 90 dollars to fix it which involves taking it out and finding a place near to you or about $100 - $150 on buying a replacement odometer.

Its only worth fixing if you can spare the time. I think it's much better idea to replace it if you can find one with similar K's on it.

Oh and they break because they've been wound back... which you knew since you have a 93 R33 with HAHAH 64200kms on it

[Evil]

it's most likely the stepping motor at the back... same thing happened to my old car... cost about $110 to fix...

[blx]

Also happened to me, Tried all that but did not work.

After 1000kms it startd again.

Good indication odomoter was wound back.

[Blitz]

Also happens when the Odometer has been tampered with - its not uncommon on cars that have had their km's wound back

[(B1) MR_fanny]

i was told its not a good to reset the odo thingy when ur still moving cause it might stuff up like yours...lol. yeah 93 with 64ks.....i dont believe!! anyways good luck!!

[MJ]

my one worked fine then one day it got stuck on 99,999 and now that and the trip meter dont work

[gatty]

well i fixed it

the problem wasn't pushing it in - when i pushed it in, it got stuck in - so i pulled it and it clicked then it's working again now..

you guys think my odometre has been wound back? i guy i know looked at the seal around the box and it seemed to have not been tampered with - the car was brought over here decmeber last year and had 4 k's on it after comliance - japan is a small place

My '98 had 66,000km on it when I picked it up.... so it can't be that small.

How worn is your interior? have to be pretty schmick of the k's are genuine.

[gatty]

my interior is immaculate - apart from cigarette burn on passenger flaw (hardly notice it)

other than that great condition...

[09ONE_32]

Another way to help tell if the car has had k's wound back is to check if the factory bushes are still in place in the suspension. These won't last 100,000km so if they are still there and not aftermarket items there is a good chance that the kms are genuine. However they could have been replaced with factory items, but why would you if you can get better aftermarket ones for about the same price.

[GTR R35]

My 1988 VR4 had 58,000 on the clock and they are original km's as the car is immaculant inside and only dirty under the bonnet. I used this Simple Green stuff and now it looks brand new. The body looks like it lived its whole 16 years outside and been washed in a auto car wash 1 million times, but you can tell if the odo has been fiddled with, you cannot hide wear and tear.

It has always worried me about imports and odo fiddling, it looks like it does happen often from some of the posts on this thread.

another good giveaway for the wound back odometer when the dash says 63,000 and you have a sticker on the engine saying the timing belt was changed at 100,000klm......

[Sumo]

Lol Duncan.... yeah

I got that 100,000km sticker on my cam cover and I have a 96 model

Sumo

[gatty]

i have a sticker under there saying it has to be changed at 100k - but not that is has been

[Duncan]

mmm, in some ways thats even worse...who knows how far over 100000k it is?

[gatty]

at 100k i think a light may come on in the dash?

but looking at general wear and tear over the entire vehicle i think the k's are legit..
