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.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
