Hi SAU,

My cluster in my skyline has stopped working (The rev meter section is broken along with the speedo section was playing up) and i bought a second hand odometer the next day so i know my speed limit and the rev meter.

My question is, The old cluster had a different KMS to the second hand cluster now.

I will be selling the car also soon and i dont want to do the wrong thing with RMS and wanted to know if we require to report this cluster issue to them for their records? the E -Safety was recorded with the original kms on it and the rego is coming up soon and the mechanic workshop said to me that RMS does not check these...which is BS!

Has anyone else had the same issue with their clusters playing up and purchasing a second hand cluster with a different km's?

Just wana do the right thing here guys.

Thanks

Jason

Slim chance the original was legit anyway? :rolleyes:

There are people who can adjust your new cluster, I can't say I've had it done before but it can be done, I'm almost sure there's a thread on either this forum or another.

All in all, if you want to go the legit way, tell the RMS and ask for their advice :)

The old clusters was original for the car with full service history with the kms on it always.

I will go over to RMS at my lunch break and ask them for a quick advice :)

Legit way will always make you richer if you follow the book and karma will get you ;)

Any good instrumentation shop can set your new cluster to the old ones readings. When I got my nismo cluster I send it off and had it reset to my standard mileage. All they wanted was a declaration signed by me that it was what it was. They didn't want pics or anything though [i dealt through the mail, not over the counter].

yeah I got mine checked out at the same time, it was s/h so I didn't want any smoke escaping when I plugged it in, plus the best time to fix it is when its out - so if the temp/speedo/fuel etc didn't work they could fix it before I went to the hassle of tearing half the dash apart.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
