I carnt see why not, as long as its tha same shape, dont know bout boost section thoe.... Whats wrong with old one ?

r u sure it carnt be fixed ?

[Mick]

Umm not sure what u got sourced but tere is a guy who has a complet r33 gtst gauge cluster.

I think he wants 300ono ..

Not sure if its series 1 or 2 thoe, but thought i'll let u know

[Black33]

thanks heaps mick.

It is unfixable, I tried taking it somewhere but unfortunately I truly stuffed it when installing my white faces (blue at night) by myself

let me know, thanks.

ps. the boost is a seperate gauge and it work fine!

What did u break on the guage for it to not work?

[Black33]

I pulled off the needle without first loosening it off the spindle by pushing it past it's limit, this stuffed the guts of the tacho - or so I've been told.

Black33 I did the same thing but was able to fix it.

is it just the coiled spring that has come out a bit?

[Black33]

Grim,

nah, I dont think so. I took it to an instrument repairer and he fixed my speedo cos I stuffed that too. He took apart the tacho but said he couldn't do anything with it. It gives me very wrong readings, doesnt move at times, gets stuck, is basically stuffed.

Need one bad!

I just use my S-AFC to read my revs, its more accurate also

you could even buy a monster tacho.. at least youve got a good excuse for one now

[Black33]

Monster tacho? - nah, I'm not into them, don't like the look.

Maybe you'd like to give me your tacho if you dont read it???

umm.. *thinks*

:shake: nope :lol:
