I have one of those (so called) rare Nismo LCD screen dashes. I'm not really fond of it to be honest, as ive never had the screen working (dont have the required setup).

Basically, it came with my car when i bought it from the dealership, and it wasnt working. I noticed the screen behind the plastic casing had a bit of dust on it, so i decided to take it apart and wipe the screen. BIG mistake.

..The screen smudged at the bottom where i wiped, and left a mark which has never gone away. To be honest im not that fussed with all the "fancyness" of the dash, as id rather get a better look at what speed im doing then be looking at a blank screen at the moment.

So i was wondering...

1. Is it worth keeping? Can the screen be fixed? And if so what computer/device do i need to run something on the screen? who can install it?

or

2. Should i sell it/ swap it (and keep it in storage) with a regular stock R33 Gtst dash?

Im not really fussed by the fact the screens got a scratch to it, as right now im leaning towards finding a stock dash with regular kms and swapping it over, still keeping the nismo one. If its worth getting fixed and it can be easily, ill consider looking down that path

thanks for any opinions :)

yeah they can be worth a bit if you can get them working.

Why dont you put some effort into that? Im sure i saw somewhere on SAU discussion on what it takes to do this.

Otherwise, what do you mean a smear? as in the LCD liquid has broken out a bit (not fixable- means the dash is worth fk all now) or just that the plastic now has a smoggy smear on it from the solvent/grime? (fixable).

Otherwise, an R33 cluster is dead easy to get hold of, dead cheap ($50-$100), and dead easy to install (put led's in at the same time to give it a bit more of a modern feel to it).

yeah the LCD screen liquid is wrecked. Thanks for your help :) I do have an old cluster, but its got lots of kms. So im in the market for one with 80 XXX kms to match my car, then do a straight swap. Thanks mate.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
