Hi does anyone have any idea of how to change the speedo cable in a r32 gtr

Can I just take the inner part out and slide the new one in. Well I dont really know if I can even buy a new inner part. I just have another car for spare parts. But im trying to find out if I can just change out the inner cable because it seems like a pain. The only good thing about my situation is I have the motor out the car. If I can take it out can some point me in the right direction on as how to do so.

Mate it looks like a pain. But I guess ill have to do as you say. I had an old honda civic and the inner part is all I had to replace. I just pulled it out and push the new one in. But I guess the gtr's arnt like that. Thank god that both cars have no engine.

Thanks mate

Hey guys, removed my cluster to replace faulty tacho,re fit cluster and speedo stopped working, removed cluster again and found the white plastic dowel with the square drive that goes into the gauge and the spring sitting on the shelf bit under the gauges. I'm just wondering if it's broken or just come out of the hole and can be re fitted. I'll try and post some photo. Thanks

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
