Morning all,

on my way to work this morning cruiseing through the local neighbourhood i noticed that the speedo was reading awefully high. when cruising through the main streets at approx 60km, the speedo was reading around 100! and it was flying up like crazy through each gear!

I stopped the car and turned it off then back on twice, even tried starting it in just rear wheel with 4wd disabled but no good. Whats happened!

Please help, i had to drive my mum's magna to work... Do you know what that feels like!

Absolutely no idea what driving your mum's Magna would feel like!

Sounds like either the magnet drive on the back of the speedo is catching on the input, or the counter-spring is dying.

Its prob a good thing you dont know what driving my mums magna feels like :wub:

And if its this how hard is it to fix. i have no idea how to check this out to see if its the problem. do i simply take out the speedo and check for loose wiring / sh1tty spring?? would it be causing any harm drving it as it is at the moment, besides clocking up a shite load of extra km's?

I have the same problem my spedo is about 20 ks out..

is it constantly about 20km's out?? mine was way out then was only a bit out then was back to normal. its the first time its ever done it. a mate said yesterday that he had a similar problem and he ended up shoving the cluster around and it went back to normal. almost as if something had come a bit loose.

I wonder if this is a common problem for skylines. i havent really heard of many other people coming across this.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything

      3 or 4 8-balls in the sump?

      Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
