Ok, so my tacho and speedo are giving me the Sh#ts. Tacho is jumping all over the place then not working then ok. Had enough. The Nismo dash clusters on E-bay are going for $780-800 so can I put a GTR dash into a GTST ? They say in their advertising you can but excuse me for being sceptical. After all, E-bay wouldn't lie. Or should I just replace the tacho with a brand new stocker ? If the tacho and speedo are the same design perhaps I could just throw away the dash and just use the tacho & speedo as a simple replacement. Anybody done this ?

hey man i recently purchased a nismo 320km/h dash cluster and can confirm it works. all plugs are exactly the same and everything works as it should. check this one out. This is the same one I purchased. Cheapest you'll probably find: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/JDM-Nissan-GTR-R33-BNR33-Nismo-320KM-11000RPM-Cluster-Gauge-GT-R-RB26DETT-/261176664139?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3ccf57a04b

i have a GTR dash in mine, everything works but the oil pressure gauge seems to sit at the top so was wondering if that might be different... my brother has the 320km nismo unit in his and works perfectly,

its very worth it too, the gtst dash is a piece of shit!!

I know it's missing the window glass but I ordered it anyway. Hope I can get a replacement or my GTST glass fits. Thanks anyway.

Thanks Ravi, it's been posted so should be here soon. The one I have now has done 345,000k's, maybe that's why it,s playing up. As a side note, I was just discussing with a friend how in 12 years of ownership I have never blown a single bulb anywhere in the car, amazing. Let me know what you want for the GTR glass and I may buy it just in case.

Well, I can confirm the Nismo dash into GTST R33 absolutely works. Very happy. Time consuming putting it in but mostly because I cleaned and polished as I went. Only annoying thing is the numbers on the speedo are so small. I'll get used to it though. Something tells me I may never see the needle at full speed. And the glass from the GTST is the same as the GTR. For those who have done this before obviously you know it works, this is just to let others know, thanks.

    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
    • Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!
    • They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
