Hey guys,

After months of intermittent flickering/bouncing of my tacho needle....its seems as though my tacho has finally had enough and wont run beyond 2000rpm anymore!

I have read the DIY guide by 'pushead' on removing the cluster and it seems to be fair easy....btw...nice guide (alot of detail)....cheers :P

I still have a few questions though -

1) The guide finishes with the cluster coming out of the dash, but still connected....what happens next? Are the wires running to the cluster - soldered? OR do they use connectors?

2) When replacing the cluster, does the new cluster need calibration? How do u go about this calibration proceedure?

3) Does anyone know where i can buy a 'new' cluster? OR can u only buy '2nd hand' ones?

4) Do you know of any good instrumentation experts where i can get the work done? How much roughly am i looking at? (Im not sure if i will do the work myself or not? Depends on how much stuffing around is involved and how cheap it is to simply get someone to do it for me.)

Cheers, :)

1. Theres 3 plugs on the back of the cluster just unplug them and out it comes

2. Should'nt have to recalibrate any thing...would be cheaper just to replace tacho

3. Look in for sale section

4. Premier instruments or somone like that maybe look in the yellow pages

i would pull the cluster out its very easy and check that the needle shaft as not poped out before buying a new cluster or tacho

If you pull the cluster apart its possible to find whats wrong with it.

There could be a few 'dry' connections where the female connector is connected to the circuit board. you can tell this by looking at them and if the solder looks as if it has been broken.

This happened a to my pulsar when I had it. Just had re-solder those connections and bob's your aunty.

You might have a different problem though.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      So, I'm not a diff swapsies specialist, but I am pretty sure the 300zx ran an R220 not and R200 like the C34 Stagea, so I think it is of no use to you. As you said, all you need to do is get the centre swapped in the diff you have, which might be best done by a diff specialist. The current centre is probably desirable to someone to track so an easy path might be to swap your mechanical centre for someone with a standard centre (which is a viscous LSD, and almost certainly won't have any limited left). The only thing you have to watch swapping R200 internals between diffs is that the number of splines on your car's stub axles has to match the donor car, or you need the centre+stub axles and make sure they have the same number and pattern of bolt holes as your rear axles.  You swap your current ratio onto the new centre so you don't have to worry about matching the front. Alternatively, centres like the Nismo pro are much gentler (and have adjustable "tightness") so you could buy on of those from somewhere like Jesse Streeter or Nengun (noting it may cost you 1234% extra in tariffs by the time it lands)

      Id just remove the solid subframe bushes.  you are over complicating things.  on a side note make sure you do some research on the skyline shed before buying from them.

      2020 Nissan Skyline 400R V37/Infiniti Q50 RS insurance in NSW

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      Just got back from overseas and once again Rego and service time. Supercheap auto cant find my plates on their list to match my car to buy a crush washer lolol. NRMA has my number plate linked to R35 GTR which i have explained once again that it is not a GTR. Its scary in the sense that if somthing happens and my insurance wont cover me if its the wrong car on their list even though they are the ones that have made the mistake. Im not sure NIGHTCRAWLER why the neg comment? Its a 2020 V37 400R Skyline? and asking for someone to post their VIN number is crazy just to prove it? Its a legit Nissan Skyline from japan factory 400R its does use the Q50 infinity chasis but this is the Japan model.
