I recently (5K ago) installed a nismo speed cluster on my R34 GTR and it reads 10km higher than actual speed. I never measured the standard one so I dont know how they compare - I was able to tell the error when the car was on the dyno.

Has anyone experienced this with Nismo dash on GTR's ?

And all speedos are out anyway. Even my AVC-R and my speedo don't say the same thing and they take the same signal! It get's worse the faster you are going.

At what speed was it 10 out or does it say 10 when you are sitting still?

rolling diameter wouldn't make 10k diference??? only couple i think?!?!?!?!

Depends on how different the diameters are !

10km difference at 100km/h is only 10%. Doesn't take much to be out by 10%.

From factory I think the specs are +/- 3% to pass ADR's

This web page can help you to work out how far your speedo wil be out if you change tyre size.

Hmm, then I'm not sure.

Maybe the speedo cable/screw drive is worn or has previously been replaced with a slightly different sized one?

Or maybe you are correct in saying that the speedo is infact out.

Hard to say really.

Here in Canberra we have speedo checkpoints on some of the main highways. Basically just markers over 5km distance so you can check your speedo. If they have any around your area give them a try, maybe the dyno was out :D

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
