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.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
