Speedo on r32 gtr seems to bounce around constantly, except when its at 0. For example, sitting at 60 will have it fluctuate a couple of km up and done and just simply can't stay still.

Any ideas on what is causing this? alternatively, anyone know of a good speedometer repair shop that i can mail it to or something? unless there is one in canberra...

this happened to me. it bounced around for about a week then just died completely. on mine it was the drive on the end of the cable at the dash cluster end that was rounded off. this was causing it to only grab for a bit then slip. hence the bouncing.

i reakon just get a new cable, they don't cost much, i paid about 90 through nissan. took me about 20-30min to change.

In my r32 gtst speedo bounces around at speeds below about 40km/h??

EDIT: Should note car has been converted to manual from auto 2 owners ago.

Yeah that's the same with me. Only seems to bounce when I'm travelling below 40kmh.

Most of the time, the bouncing speedo has something to do with the speedo cable.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
