Hi,

I have just recently got myself a Stag (WC34 S1 - 1997), something practical for having a family and what will be a bigger dog when its grown up.

There are a few things on it that need changing and/or fixing.

The speedo and rev counter don't work, the speedo sits on 20km/h and the rev's just sit near zero flicking, has anyone had this issue and know what the problem is and how to fix it ?

And what globes do the parker lights take ? Mine has bluer ones in them at the moment and as far as I know, cops don't like that.

And does anyone have a stock exhaust, and how much would you want for it (in SA) ? The current one is loud and as I am just looking more for it to be a family bus, I don't really want it to be loud and don't need the attention loud exhausts bring.

Thanks

have a go at removing the dash and cleaning all the connectors...? i think it's a cheaper option (than repairing) if you buy a second hand dash unit. i may be wrong.

as for your parker lights they should be T10 wedge LEDs, ebay is your best friend here.

I chucked my stock exhaust a few months ago! You can make a decent flowing exhaust quiet with the right type of mufflers, mine has no cat and 3 inch whole way, one Hooker aero chamber and a berklee straight through at the rear. makes qround 300rwkw and tests at 87db at 3000rpm so its legal. the mufflers cost around 250 foe both from memory, just get them put in.

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
