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 not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
