Hey all,

I know this is usually done as a dodgey kind of thing but I give you my word I am doing this for a true and honest reason. Possibly because I got jibbed too.

Well I bought a replacement Skyline today an early 1996 s2 mspec. But first thing I noticed was the cluster was different to my S2. Its ugly, it doesnt have the circle things around the indicator things.

Well Ive still got my old R33 in tact and still have the cluster with a reading of 119xxx. I want to put it in my car but the car I bought has 82000. Now, I could put it in and just swap it out later on, but for the

sake of fairness and just well, I like to be honest with my self here, I want to rewind the clock I took out of my series 2 and put it in my series one.

If someone can PM me how it can be done. It looks like an electronic signal is sent from the box controlling the counter inside the speedo. I dont want to break the thing and I dont want to fork out money for

one on eBay with 70000km on it. I know places will trade it in for theirs and they will just rewind it and sell it off, but like I said, this is a true, honest request.

If it can be done it would be greatly appreciated. If you need proof I will take photos of everything just to show I'm not f**king around here.

Cheers.

I've done it on my old laser, just to match up the numbers when I swapped a good cluster in to my broken down hunk of junk.

If you have a tiny flathead screw driver (the sort you would use for computer parts), it's possible to get between and kind of seperate the numbers from each other, then turn the numbers to what you want...... then remove the screwdriver and it should click back in place.

This also has potential to wreck the whole mechanism. I would never do it on the skyline cause the clusters are actually worth decent money lol. But the laser cluster cost me $20, so I thought I'd give it a go.

For anyone reading this, thinking I'm a criminal... let me tell you..... when I changed the ODO on the laser, I was actually winding it FORWARDS to match :)

not sure what exact part of the new speedo you like, but 1 option may be to simply change the speedo part of the cluster to put your current cars speedo and odometer into the cluster you like the look of more. this way you still have the legitimate kms

mad I think you're onto something. I just popped the face off the new cluster. Im gonna remove the old one from the car and see if I can pop the face off that one. The cluster in my car is just flat. The one ive got is like a new design and like all the icons have circles around them. it just looks crisper.

Fingers crossed they line up! Can anyone confirm if the lights and indicators are all in the exact same place?

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
