Cluster Issues R32 Gtst

[eightsixboy]

Hi all, just picked up my new r32 gtst on friday, very happy with the car but there is this annoying issue the car has with the cluster. The cluster is standard apart from changed dials ie there now white and blue, but the actual markings are all the same as original.

So the tacho in the cluster, its not acurate at all, i can be drving at say 3,000rpm and if i put it in nuetral it will take maybe 4-5 seconds for the tacho to drop to the actual engine speed. You can hear the engine revs drop instantly to idle but the tacho just does nothing for a bit.

Same thing when reving the engine, its like it lags and doesnt know wtf is going on.

The car currently is running a microtech lt10, could that have anything to do with it? Maybe its not getting a good signal from the ecu? All my other skylines had accurate and quick responding clusters, so whats up with this one?

The speedo is also out by alot, i'm not running massive wheels either, 17's all round. Its out by atleast 20kmh, my gps will say im doing 80 but the speedo says 100.

Any ideas?

Have a mate with an R32 cluster you can swap over? Does it still run an RB20 + box? I think it would be the cluster itself, as the rb20 still uses a mechanical speedo. Given that you have problems with the tacho and the speedo, I think whoever played with the cluster shanked it.

Ok cool, were bouts u located? Yea still running a 20 and standard box.

Yea thats what im thinking to, I'm not sure why they even did it, looks horrible at night, the blue led's are to bright and shine through the cluster and blind you lol.

I'm up in Brisbane, so probably no help. If you have a decent jap wreckers there, go see what they want for a cluster. If it's an alright price, ask if you can test it and if everything works out then buy it. I hate tacky mods like that.
