Hey guys.

I have a problem with my speedo. the kms traveled stoped cliking both the top and the bottom but the speed is still showing and so does everything els, could it be the actual hole speedo shit it self?

Some times it would work for like 15 seconds and thats it. i checked all wires behind it and all is fine there.

im guessing its were its getting its signal from, witch i have no idea were thats from :Oops:

Please help :(

probably because your odometer has been wound back at some point - usually a common sign. I wouldn't worry, most have anyhow.

What you'll probably have to do is take the cluster out, open it up, and replace or fix the odometer part which controls both the odometer and trip. Often it can just be a stripped gear.

Just gotta say that this is a very common problem, and I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't related to "hanky panky" with the odo reading between Jap and Aus.

Mine played up on the way home from buying it at a yard in Sydney. When I fronted them they said that they would get it fixed no worries. I then said that, as I could not trust the odometer reading, they should do the 100K service stuff (timing belt etc) as well.

No worries. Got it done at 67K according to the odo.

Anyone who has bought from a yard and has this happen should do the same. I think you will find that they bend over backwards because of implications of "dodgyness".

If you have imported it yourself, I don't think there is anyone to go to and you gotta fix it yourself (through wreckers etc).

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
