The one I purchased has faulty oil and temp gauges so now I am looking at getting a 3rd and final one. Has anyone got one IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER they can sell me?

Please PM me.

Thanks!!

Todd

You're so high maintenance aren't you Todd. Why does everything have to be in WORKING order?

I have a few odometers and a few canon exhausts that you can go check out - drop me an SMS and we'll tee it up.

cheers,

what pressure does your seem to show on average? mine shows just below 4.

After putting this cluster in it shows 4 on startup, then drops just below... at times it is just above 2 (still normal) but then it will drop down to 0 for a few mins and pop back up (it won't do it all the time, just some of the time!). It drives and runs perfectly no matter what the gauge says and it has only happend since I installed the cluster.

I figured the first step would be to confirm what is happening with the oil pressure before looking for another problem (oil pressure sensor, oil pump) but it would be just as expensive (if not more) for me to buy and install an aftermarket gauge or to take it to a mechanic as it would be for me to replace it with one that is working for sure!

Worst case it keeps happening, I can flog off the other cluster and find the true issue or if it is the cluster (most likely) then it has only cost me $50 odd dollars!

Any advice? Or does everyone agree?

Todd ever single 32 i have had i have found that the standard cluster's have never been that flash for the oil pressure or temp gauges.

If your worried about it i would be hooking up an AM oil pressure gauge to double check.

Better safe then sorry and i have a spare one kicking around if you want to borrow it :/

Thanks for the offer B but I am not TOO concerned, just something to keep an eye on ATM really. Would be good to know once and for all but I can wait until Damo comes down!

No problemo chief,

normally everything is fine even though the cluster doesn't show that.

But im the sorta bloke that likes to be safe then sorry :D

I've got a NISMO dash if the stock one you get from Damo still doesn't work :D

      Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.

      Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      By PranK · Posted

      The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage.

      Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
