The tacho in my R32 GT-R is lying to me and telling me I'm idling at 6000rpm. Pissed me off enough to pull it out to fix it but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the face and needle off to resolder the circuit board underneath. Tried searching here, the web, youtube etc and nothing has shed light on it. I don't really just want to yank on it and break it if there is a simple solution.

Thanks guys.

After about a week it started dancing around again, so I resoldered it again. I must have stuffed it up because the needle moves really slowly, like hit the rev limiter and it's climbing through 3k on the dial. Fed up with it now, going to replace the whole thing. Not going to buy a new cluster as it will probably start doing it as well, just going to rip out the tacho and stuff an aftermarket one in there. Went to order one online and realised I have no idea how big the dial is, I'm currently interstate and my car is getting some minor things fixed and a dyno tune done, so I can't measure it up. Does anyone know how big the hole in the surround is that the tacho pokes through? Can't find anything online.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
