Hi all,

I'm posting this here and in the 'SA' forum in case there are any non-SA people who may have had experianece with SA instrument specialists.

I've just bought an R32 GT-R and there's a minor problem with the speedo. Has anyone had good work done on R32 gauges in Adelaide? If you have, can you please let me know who you would recommend?

Cheers!

Mike

Well, after starting (or any reasonable time stationary) the speedo reads 1.5-2 times the speed that my GPS speed readout gives. Forexample, yesterday in 110km/h traffic the needle was past the 180km/hr limit of the gauge. After a time the difference diminishes, and in some instances it returns to the correct reading. Today for example, it was showing 60km/h when the GPS was showing 60km/h amongst urban traffic.

The tacho and odometer are running correctly though.

It's the stock cluster and it's pretty steady actually. None of the symptoms associated with damaged cables that I can identify by searching these forums.

I popped into Gauge Works in Adelaide yesterday. They're pretty confident that they can sort it. I'll probably get them to fix it and I'll post the results in the forums to add to the knowledge base.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
