same thing has happened to me! i took it to an instrument maker to get fixed. there is a little motor behind the dash that makes the numbers increment. they had to order the little motor (from who knows where) i don't know the cost (yet) but i'll keep you posted. remeber not all auto electricians fix dash instruments.

Tim, my speedo stopped working last year. I removed the instrument cluster and took it down to a place in Brookvale. Northern Beaches Instruments ??? or Brookvale Instruments ???? something like that (not Northern Beaches Automotive, but may be the same street). They are near Bill Buckle in one of those side streets.

They fixed it no worries, it had a dry solder.

Took my R33 down for a nice drive down to Wollongong on the weekend and it did the same thing as you describe.

Stopped counting in between 71899 and 71900. I suspect this is a side effect of being wound back, which doesn't make me happy.

It started counting again after a little while and is working ok now. Might get it looked at still.

How much did they charge you for that if i may ask?

mine stopped at 50k also. turned out one of the little increment tabs was slightly burred over. my guess is a wound back speedo (yet another one, bastards). it was easy fixed though, just trimmed the burr with a scalpel blade AND replaced the motor (which was stuffed i think because the mechanism was jammed???).

    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 馃悤, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 馃, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 馃ぃ) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
