Hi,

I am certain a number of people who use these may suffer same or have done. So I'm looking for a shop that can recalibrate firstly then diagnose and repair.

Car: Late 92 R32 GTR. Nismo 320kmh, 11000rpm Cluster - Tacho Eratic - Recalibration and Repair of Tacho required.

Note: It has the blue plastic circuitry used in the 92 onwards GTR's.

It can read 800 or 11000 at startup, then work perfectly for an indeterminate amount of time and then off the dial again. and then go back to normal.

There is no "tell" when it will happen or what makes it happen or what resolves it.

Any and all tips on how to DIY appreciated. Although I think it may be best to get someone who knows what there on about to help me.

Thanks guys

Richard

How lucky are you. I just spent way too much getting mine pulled out of my GTST33 due to no time for me to do it. Lost the car for a week. Guess what, lasted two days before it stuffed up again. Then it was normal, then it wasn't. At the moment it is normal but it will happen again by tomorrow. Advanced Automotive Instruments is in Bankstown I think, give them a call. That's who I made the original inquiry to. I got Advan Performance to do mine but don't know who they used. They did take it to an instrument repairer though so might have been them.

So trying to fix it is a waste of time is what I'm saying. Get a new one. Does your speedo jump a little ?

Ahhh - thank you.

No the speedo stays stable and is correct. Just adhoc spikes in the Tacho.

But seriously thanks heaps for giving me a shop name. I will call them on Monday.

I'd say Advan would have used the same shop. I don't think they're far from them.

If it's not fixed you should be entitled to get cash back or suppose good will on the nxt work you get Advan to do.

I'll check to see if you can buy each dial individualy.

Cheers and thanks again

Richard

Perhaps I just move the facia of the tacho unit onto a stocker unit I have and transplant it in.

I don't push it past 8200rpm so going to a 11000 wont be an issue.

All good, Peter said he'll make it up to me. If your tacho is all over the place then pay attention to your speedo and see if it jumps 10 kays and back again. Annoying.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
