Not too bad... I've partway taken the dash out... I started with removing the surround for the gear knob, which just clips in... Then there are 2 or 4 screws under the stereo... You'd also find it easier to remove the steering wheel shroud (MAYBE?!?) they are just screws underneath... The rest of the dash should be clips...

You're best off taking it to a place that specialises in fixing gauges. There's a place in Sydney called Truspeed that does it, not sure if there's anything similar in Melbourne but there probably is. Shouldn't cost more than $50 or so.

metbluegtst how do u know u r odo hasnt been wound back ? i dont think there is an import that hasnt . even local cars have been wound back .

wld 747 easy to take the cluster out but u will stuff it up if u try o fix the odo take it to an instrument specialist .

u dont have to take the steering column shroud of u can pull it out with out taking that off .

1st u take the ashtray out , then 2 ( i think ) screws that hold the stereo cluster suround and another 2 above the steering column the rest is held in by clips but double check that there is not any more screws . once u pull that off( u have to undo the electrical plugs ) then u 'll see the 4 screws that hold the cluster in take them out , pull the cluster out a little undo the plugs at the back (3or 4 i think )then u should be able to pull it out , u have to rigle it a bit and find the best side to take it out , i think to the left of the steering .

odo problems are very common with imports cause they turn them back and most times they are a bit rough and stuff the gears up . never believe the k's on the odos of imports , i dont how can u when u see a 95 gtr with 10,000 k's on the odo that was at powerplay in sydney a few weeks ago , a v -spec .

My odometer decided to pack it in just after i got the car. Less than 1K after in fact. So i took it straight back to the importer to deal with it. Cost at all haha. My VL that has been in the family since brand new has also had odometer dramas. It stopped at 267xxx quite a few years back. Hell, it should be well on it's way to a million by now lol.

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
