Cluster Issues R32 Gtst

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.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
