Nissan do this, it means you have the special million dollar winning car,

Nah, but unscrew the 4 screws in the speedo, pull it out, check the speedo cable is plugged in properly, if it is, then check the sensor at the other end(gearbox end is still working, follow the cable up, sometimes they snap, if it's buggered just get a new speedo cable, if it's not, then you might need to take it to a mechanic, something must be stopping it from spinning)

If the speedo and P/S are still working, then it shouldn't be a problem with the cable.

The Japanese seem less opposed to fiddling odometers (winding them back). It's possible some sort of damage was done that prevents the odometer going past 100k.

I have the same problem as mine started to play up at 75000kms and fixed itself.

It has now hit 80000kms and wont budge, even the trip meter has stopped.

So I pulled it apart today and had a look seemed easy enough but I couldn't find anything wrong so I just pushed the odometer numbers gently past 80000 with a small screwdriver.

Dunno if this has worked yet as my radiator is out and I cant drive it.

Will let you know as soon as I do tho.

On a side note my boost guage seems to be playing up.

When Im idling the guage reads 0 pressure not vacuum, but when I start to boost it it climbs up.

Also noticed that when the car is off it falls down to 7 deg vacuum.

Any ideas????

I have exactly the same problem.......

the ODO meter stop when reaching 89999kms

yes, four 9 and doesn't go past the 90000kms!

and the trip meter also stopped........

I opened it up and can see nothing wrong

went to wrecker to buy a used one.

realise that the one I had......doesn't have the P, R, N, D, 1, 2......at the centre......

so I am guessing it is for a manual car

and now maybe I could understand why the O/D light doesn't turn on

so what's the reason behind the not running odometer?

i heard that when your car is moving, you shouldn't reset the trip meter..........but I need confirmation about that lol

and also I think it stopped before I reset -_-"

This is what we were concerned about at 5 mins to midnight on 31/12/99 eh?

Had an N13 that did the same thing, and after about 2 months, the odo moved on. Might have been after speed hump rather than a chicane.... Silly isn't it!

Rubber Mallet? I'll LOL if that works!

the car's odometer just stopped in shock when it realised it was the second time it had clicked over 100,000klm :( I guess they wound it back a fair way.

no idea how to fix it but it is pretty common with these cars

pull it apart and look for the cogs from memory there is one white one and severl black ones, check to see if they are all lined up and "meshing" nicely in there, also make sure no damage to the shaft and that everything is plugged in! Gl hame.

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
