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.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
