Hi all,

Just picked up my v35 yesterday. I love it but this might sound silly, I cant get used to the speedo. anyone else have the same problem. The numbers and lines dont match up so i was going by the lines but felt I was going slower. Can someone explain to me what speed is what line on the speedo? - Sounds silly and I feel stupid asking. Please be kind.

If I understand what you're trying to convey and your cluster looks like this then:

Thickest lines are the 20Kph increments (20-40-60-80)

Mid Thick lines are the 10kph increments (10-30-50-70)

and the thin lines are the 2kph increments in between.

The real issue is when the speedo goes past 180 and there are no more numbers..... but the best explanation for you is above and with a pic to :thumbsup:

Looks like someone has replaced the outer ring with one from a US model.

The G37 speedo has eight larger lines like yours does whereas the cluster showing kms has nine larger lines.

Now, I wonder how many kms your car actually has on it.

LHD???

It's 2006. But they replaced that component because it wasn't displaying the fuel level properly. So it used to have the same as you. I don't know why they put this one in! How am I meant to kno wat speed I'm going???

I kno when we previously looked at the car it had done about 24000km.

What part of the cluster was replaced because that my friend is a return to dealer issue. There is definitely a mismatch of components rendering the display useless. In fact if inspected by plod they would sticker your car I'm sure.

I would be seeing about getting that fixed.

That whole component was replaced because they couldn't fix the fuel gauge on the original one. I called the place where I got my car from and I'm going to take it to the mechanic that fitted it because i need him to check the muffler as well. Its making a noise sometimes when i turn corners or acclerate. So i will ask him to check calibration and the muffler. I love my new car but it's hard to drive it around when I'm not sure what speed I'm going lol.

Thanx everyone for your responses!

Which is why I said the outer ring and not the numbers.

The numbers are obviously from a metric version but the outer ring (with the lines) is from an imperial cluster as it doesn't have enough of the larger "main" lines, thus from the US model.

Thanks for fixing my post though Chris :P

Thanx guys for all your replies took car to their mechanic and he agrees it doesn't make sense. So they are replacing it 2moro with a 'normal looking' speedo.

Apparently what happened was when they ordered it they asked for a compatible one and that's what was sent.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
