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

      Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...

      All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
