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

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
