Fixed Speedo Cable..now Cluster Playing Up

[SLIPPERY]

Hey guys my NISMO cluster in my GTR is playing up

I had the usual problem associated with losing the speedo signal causing the power steering pump to not get a signal and evetually turn off after 80 secs. anyway, i fixed the speedo cable input into the cluster and now the speedo works again.

Now, after i had plugged the wiring back into the rear of the cluster the temp guage goes to maximum and the oil pressure goes to maximum, which would suggest it has power? Is the circuitry on the back of the cluster sensitive to touch? Cause im thinking I may have touched the copper parts a few times in trying to wiggle off the electrical connections. Also, with a bit of load the tacho rises at a fair increased rate compared to actual engine speed, akin to a slipping broad minded personch, all though the clutch isnt slipping cause i still have good pull.

Is it new cluster time? or what? Have i shorted something?

Anyone had anything similar after having the cluster out?

Cheers

not sure what type of guage the skylines use, but...

you either have open circuit on the wires to the sender (plug not in properly on the cluster) or you have short circuit to ground (pinched the wires with a screw or chasis when cluster was bolted back in.

have a look, it will be something simple, you can't damage anything with static on those simple needle guages, like you could on electric guages.

thanks mate (sorry forgot your name from the old calaisturbo days )

i didnt think they could be damaged by static

funnilly enough, the temp gauge worked as normal with the plug barely in which confused me a little

Is it possible to accidently swap the two plugs on the back of the gtr cluster like you can on the gtst?

nah theres 2 black ones and 1 white one

black either side and white in the middle

i doubt the blacks would reach around to the opposite sides
