Help 300km Dash Installed

[MR R33]

hi,

this has probably been covered before but i cant find it anywhere, i recently installed a nismo 300km/h dash but the problem is when im doing 60km/h it shows that i am doin 120km/h which means the odometer is ticking very quickly as well.

now my question is how can this be fixed, i rang an instrument cluster repairer and they said that it can not be recallibrated, so what have the others done with this situation.

btw it is an r33 series one.

thanx

i think it worked out at $400, i bought some other stuff as well. i know unique auto sports has one there for $895.

well i know that if u put an auto cluster into a manual car they read about half too slow, i believe the speedo sender on the gearbox is different.

so by that logic if you have a manual cluster and an auto car it would probably read double.

whered you buy it from ??

cause ya i dont wana pay $900

[MR R33]

well my car is manual and the cluster is for a manual, i cant work it out, becasue the 300km dash has the numbers smaller, where the needel shows its doing 120km/h, its in the position of where the old dash says it was doing 60km/h.

This may be a stupid question but is it just a 300kmh face or is it actually the whole gauge cluster?

[MR R33]

i bought it as a whole cluster, but when i installed it, the 300km dash was not working it did not read a speed at all, and the oil guage wasnt working, so i took the 300km speedo out and put it in my 180 cluster, now everything works but i cant get the speedo is giving me an inaccurate reading.

has anyone had this problem, and is it possible to recalibrate it with a huge difference like that, becasue a instrument shop told me the difference is way too much o recalibrate.

thanx

anyone? surely some of you have had this problem with your nismo 300km/h dashes

[justin911]

if you cant get it going can i buy it ?

got no idea about electrical stuff, but if you need to reduce the reading exactly 50% maybe you can get some kind of voltage dividing 'thingy' from jaycar ? it would be like 30cents.. Thats assuming the speedo is running off diff voltages tho.. and not some other method ??
