Hey guys,

Got a cluster issue, every tacho works fine besides the rev tacho, it doesnt give the true reading and just jumps whereever it wants

Am i looking at a new cluster? or is this a simple fix?

I have the same problem!! Someone must know??

yeh i'll have a look if its loose or something but it radomly still works every now and then..true its only a tacho buts its annoying to see it going crazy

yeah it is abit annoying lol with mine if i hit the dash a lil it usually works again but with bumps on the road it dies. should be an easy fix i know tacho and speedo are pretty common drama in 33's though from what i have seen.

bump this up.

k guys. my tacho stopped working thru a track day.

it will work when warming up but after a while it fails and drops down to 0.

if i hit a bump it will jump up...then back to zero.

My Power fc handcontroller tacho works fine......it leads me to believe its a wiring issue behind the cluster.. However it is all fine!!??

i have also replaced the whole dash cluster and this EXACT problem still persists. i have also checked all my fuses.....and they are fine

ANY HELP OUT THERE GUYS.??

i have used contact cleaner to clean the ecu pins, and the ignition module in the engine bay, and still hasnt fixed the issue.

its getting VERY frustrating !!!

i havent found a proper fix yet for my tacho but i notice by taking of the plastic cover off and pushing my gauge on the bottom right corner of it, it will work again. maybe i need a new tacho but i'm gonna drive around with the plastic cover off for now untill i get a new tacho. Not sure if it will work for you cuz my one was just shaking all over the place.

    • -9s are discontinued supposedly. But you can still get Nismo R3 turbos which are something like a -7 but subtly different? -7s are also available. HKS GTIII-SS and GTIII-2530 are also available but they're journal bearing MHI turbos.
    • Late to this party but here is your go to shop in perth - https://www.facebook.com/gsautoworksau GTSBOY is on the money cost wise, drive in and out will cost you 15-30k or more.    Some items that will save you money  - plug in link ecu g4x is much cheaper than haltech.   -Pulsar turbo, seem to be "OK" now, never used one myself You really don't have to build the motor, E85, headgasket, studs and a good RB26 will live for ever.    Swapping over the twins won't save much as you still need ecu, tune, fuel system etc.          
    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
