Driving home tonight, the tacho, speedo, odo & everything in my instrument cluster went limp & died in my M35

They're all still lit up like they're supposed to (with the exception of the backlit odo & gear selection indicator) - the gauges have all just stopped functioning.

I've checked the fuses & can't see anything blown. Anyone got another suggestion?

:unsure:

Battery healthy? Able to check by chucking another one in?

I remember someone had an issue with the dash- car does funny things with a failing battery.

Other things could be can bus ground wiring or something equally wierd.

Pretty common apparently - happened to me a few times - initially just disconnected and reconnected the battery and they went ok for a while and then did it again and now they are fine. You could try taking the cluster out and waving a heat gun over the back of the board or get a small soldering iron and touch any dodgy looking ( I think "dry" is the term but I'm no sparky) joints.

I might try removing it & brightening up the plug connectors on Saturday & see what happens.

I'm just concerned its a computer problem of some description that won't ne resolved without burning the car to the ground...

Its not a computer problem its just a bad connection.

Turned out it was a blown fuse in the kick panel which had shut the alternator down.

Anyone got an English diagram of that fuse panel btw?

Why did the fuse blow? Fuses don't blow for no reason. Now the fun begins!

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
