when i got my gtr the clock didnt work but didnt worry me, and my head light switch s##t it self and got one on ebay and come with dash surround with clock so i chucked it in and works fine, i have heard they are just cheap

Cheers Chris, I've just replaced my headlight switch so perhaps I should give my clock another go.

I did a search on clocks and turned up this post: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=3723&hl=clock#

The author mentions something about the power for the clock running from the headunit power?

My headunit is aftermarket. What about you Matt and Steve?

Food for thought, hopefully have time to have a look tomorrow.

Yeah, mine is an aftermarket JVC head deck.

You reckon the installer might of unplugged the clock and not reconnected it.

Could be a good guess.

I tried those 2 fuses marked "Electronic Parts", buggered if i know what they do, installing and removeing a fuse did nothing, as far as i could tell!!LOL!!!

the clock should have 4 wires going into it, earth, constant 12v, ignition, and illumation.

both the ingtion and constant 12v wires should be on fuses.

I just took a look at the clock.

I have 12.20V constant and 12.20V ignition. I have tried two clocks and I'm stumped.

Next I'll pull the clock apart and see what I can see. Maybe, just maybe I have two dead clocks...?

The clock only fails when the boost has been raised above factory levels. The sneaky Nissan engineers cleverly designed the clock to fail when the AFM voltage exceeded a certain level. When the owners complained of the clock not working, the Nissan dealers simply plugged in the Consult diagnostics tool and noted that the boost level was excessive. This then gave them the evidence needed to refuse engine warranty claims later on.

Or on second thoughts.........maybe the clocks are just cheap pieces of crap.

My car was dyno'd and displayed 12psi. It is a stock ECU with stock turbos and stock AFMs. I thought that was about right? Hrmmm. The highest I've seen my AFM voltage is in the vicinity of 3V - I thought they max out at 5V...?

I appreciate your post Gav but I'm not sure as I've not seen how to use Consult to check the boost level. Which Consult program are you using? I've used different laptop and PDA software and haven't come across boost.

Do you remember your info source please? I'm keen to learn more.

Cheers!

Sorry - just me being obtuse and starting another "conspiracy theory"

Definately just a poor quality clock - probably as a result of going way over budget on the development of the GT-R and the production budget had probably dried up by the time they got to finishing bits like the clock.

well i have noticed that as i increase launch rpm my clock reads 00:03, 00:02, 00:01 then 00:60... also when chicks with ample rack walk past it often switching into a flashing mode where it flashes 80:08 on and off until they are out of sight?! other than that it works fine. in fact both my 32 clocks work fine. praise the son of rajab!

Yeah mine clock also does not work when I got the car.

I took the dash off once to fix my speedo cable and when I plugged everything back the clock came back. but after a few days it dissapeared again.

Hope you guys can find out the cause of it and I'll give it a try again. GL

Mine's never worked and was led to believe that it was a common occurence. I started the thread linked to above (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3723), but nothing ever came of that thread :woot:

I would love to have a clock in the car; I'm getting sick of looking at my mobile for the time...

I agree, totally sick of not having a clock and there is no way im buying a nasty stick-anywhere clock. It would be dynamite if there was a smick looking aftermarket clock that fit nicely into the origional opening. Wishful thinking, hopefully someone comes up with something :P

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
