Hey Guys,

Just got outa the car, and this has only just started happening about half an hour ago...

The car drives no problem normally, but the Tacho wont relect the revs accuratley.

Ok heres what happens the revs go up to 2K then wont go past, in fact they start creeping backwards steadily back towards 1K.

Would this be a problem with

-Tacho Buggered.

-ECU Issue

Or what else??

Just wondering what i should start pulling apart first, anyone got any ideas?

The most logical place to start would be the solder joints on the back of the dash cluster.a dry joint could possibly cause this but it does sound abit weird that they start going backwards.

If not the solder joints even just spray some contact cleaner on the connectors that go into the back of the dash cluster and maybe give a bit of a scrub with a cheap tooth brush. But in either case you would expect it to get better as the revs go up (because electrically the voltage is increasing)

souns simialr to the problem soarers have with blinky dash, thats is the solder joints cracking apart with age, my old jzz30 used to do that, after 30 minutes or so the joints expandedand made contact again, sounds similar?

My Fuel gauge does weird stuff like this. I will have a full tank for example and sometimes it just goes all teh way down to below the E. Like I have turned my car off, no fuel light comes on so I assume it just lost power to it. Then it comes up to just under a quarter then back down again. To get it to work I usually need to go round a right hand corner really fast or belt through a roundabout. Then it comes back up again. Pain in the ass really.

My tacho has begun going beserk...

Driving along reading fine, it'll flip over to the stopper past the red line, then back to zero, then oscillate at some random value ~2000rpm above where it is actually...

BIZARRE.

Anyone seen something similar?

      R32 goes out in right curves

      That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age

      Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.

      Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.

      If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
