Hey hows it going, i got a R33 GTS-T Series 2, i have a stock diff in this car and i would like to know if my revs are showing correctly on my spedo as when im doing 100ks an hour in my skyline it shows that im doing just under 3k in 5th gear is this correct as my SAFC doesnt show that it shows im doing roughly 2550-2600.

I aint sure who i should trust.

Yours Truly,

Nick

There are a heap of online calculators online which can tell you how much rpm you are doing at x speed. I'll see if I can calculate the rpm for 100km in 5th

According to this calculator in an R33 GTST with the standard 4.1 rear diff ratio, you would be doing just above 2500rpm at 100km/h. Your SAFC and dash read from the same signal, the digital is always better as it doesn't just go out of whack like the mechanical gauge would.

You shouldn't notice this just in 5th. All your gears and speeds are gonna be out. Get your cluster checked or replaced. Ive got a spare R33 GTST cluster with 118xxxkm on it. Works a treat and if you're in Sydney its yours for cheap.

Is there anyway to refurbish a tachometer as i dont want to really change the k's its done.

yea it can be fixed, its just a matter of finding someone capable of doing it as its a fairly tricky little precision instrument. alternatively if you obtain another tacho you can always get the mileage changed on it. this would be done by the same person who would repair them. when your asking around about it, make it clear that your not trying to wind back an odometer illegitimately. you've just bought a replacement for your car and want it to reflect your car's true mileage.

i've been through the same thing before, i found a guy that ran a small business fixing precision electronics like these and he got really suspicious when i asked him if he could change the odometer on the new tacho i'd bought, took a little convincing that it was legit lol.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
