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

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.

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.

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

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 ??

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
