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

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
