hi all, i just recently noticed my tacho doing crazy things, it either does as in the video, or hesitates for a moment

then keeps going, also the rpm displayed is slightly off as well, it does it when driving or when reving at stand still, all the

other gauges read correctly. do you think the dash cluster is on its way out or could it be another problem?

any suggestions would be awesome guys thanks

Any ideas even of what i could check?

Would the speedo cable have anything to do with this? On cars with stuffed speedo cables, the speed meter would 'wobble' below about 4kmh. Does yours do this?

stop feeding your car crack and get the speedo cable replaced

Where would he get a speedo cable from? You guessing or has someone actually had this problem?

I'm just assuming that the speedo cable is the problem. You can get speedo cables from wreckers, but they could be stuffed aswell. Best to get one new from Nissan. I think it was about $100.

R33 doesnt have speedo cable its electronic!!!!!!

Not to mntion his problem was with the tacho not speedo lol...

Pretty sure its a cold solder joint or similar that causes it on the back of the dash cluster, just buy a new cluster off ebay or wrecked r33, alternatively, it gives you a good excuse to upgrade to a nismo 320km/h dash cluster

I didn't realise 33's didn't have these speedo cables. I just assumed that the tacho problem was related to the speedo cable.
