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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
