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???).

yeah im another person with the same problem some little *insert grrrr here* actually wound back my speedo in australia and not japan - luckily i know around what kms its orignally done thanks to an old service sticker.

    • Interesting, I've heard complete opposite on my end. Bit of a lottery I guess.
    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
