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.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
