Hi guys,

I have been having grief with my speedo for some time now, it gets stuck at ~60kmh intermittently (about 10% of the time).

Someone once posted that the Odo plunger may be the culprit and if I wiggle it it does make it work "better", as did thumping the top of the dash.

Ive had the dash and cluster out many times, hit it with contact cleaner, lubed up the Odo gears, etc etc but nothing seems to fix it.

Now after some anger management issues it no longer has a odo plunger to wiggle and gets stuck on, well, Zero about 90% of the time.

I have bought a replacement cluster (top - sorry for blur) but many of the globes dont work, it doesnt have a Airbag wire like mine does, and it only shows half speed.

It's an auto cluster (PRNDL) but was in a manual vehicle so Im assuming someone did a "jumper" switch to halve the speed shown.

I havent been able to find the correct jumper to fix it, and Im not sure I want to due to the Airbag wire / globes issue.

These are all things I didnt notice when mine was in the car and after reading many posts about how "there's no difference between clusters".

I was always sceptical, in that I believed theer was the half / doubling issue, but wasnt aware of the Airbag wire difference.

So, does anyone know how I can fix either, or get the speed right, and what the airbag wire does / if it is necessary / transferrable, and what else to look for?

thanks

I cant remember if I bothered.

I put LEDs in mine when I swapped so I have spares I can try.

I was more concerned with the speed reading half what i was doing, and the Airbag wire, neither of which I figured would be globe related.

      Chips/Dents in wheels

      that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.
