so today my car's speedo started playing up

first, it wouldn't read past 110km/h instead it would just drop to 0km/h and stay there until i went below 110km/h then it would start to read again

few hours later, it stayed glued to 0km/h and my check engine light came on and stayed on. switched the car on/off and drove around and it was the same, speedo not working at all and engine light on

anyone have a clue on what could be the problem?

thanks

i had a look under the car and checked the gearbox and diff. all plugs/wires look fine and connected

i also pulled out the cluster and checked the wiring behind it and all is fine there too.

whats the next step?

could it be the cluster itself thats faulty?

I am having the same problem after I have replaced all the tail light bulbs.

Please help. :(

No bro, mine doesn't even read at all. Except last night, it started of on 60 when the car was standing still, it went to 170 when I was going at 60 according to the Gps.

This morning it didn't work at all.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
