anyone noticed this with their dash clock?

[Ronin 09]

I've noticed that my dash clock runs fast by about a minute a month... it is just really annoying. Seeing that the timing is regulated by quartz, i can't understand why this might happen...

Has anyone noticed this? I discovered it as about 3 months ago i installed a new head unit, and set both the dash and head unit clock to my watch. The h/unit and watch still read the same, but the dash clock is fast. What is the deal? am i just going mad???

:confused:

Your going mad !

haha never paid that close attention to it really...

i never have it on the right time anyway, I put it forward by 5 or 10mins cos I'm always running late

[JimX]

Mine runs fast too, probably by around the same amount or even a little faster. I wonder if there's an adjustment for it?

[FuN bUs]

ill keep an eye on it!

never noticed it before

It's Japanese time bro.

When you run f00l seek times, the real world slows down but time in the Skyline cabin speeds up.

Pay attention in physic class.

right on its the only way to be on time or just a little late to work rather that an hour late every day hahaha i have the same lateness disease

[Jase]

mine doesn't keep correct time either

[Jay95R33]

LOL - I thought that my head unit was running slow... But maybe the clock is running fast..

I'm all confused now

yup, fair call

my clock is always fast, regardless of what time i set it to;

doesnt seem to get past 10 minutes fast though . .. .

[hippy]

tony is a genius .. yep its all einstein .. the laws of relativity ... basically the faster u go ... time will slow down ... u dont' notice it slowing down cause you're going to slow but it all adds up ... it has been proven with jet fighters

Simple solution - set the clock 10 minutes slow. Then eventually it'll be right and you'll never have to touch it again

right, clearly there are more mad people on here like me too. sorted.

[Guest RedLineGTR]

havent noticed..

[coco69]

i always just bung my clocks like 5 minutes ahead so that i think im running late and always arrive on time.

[rb25]

2 minutes a month too fast here

[Guest RedLineGTR]

omg....were going so fast in our skylines we are going into the future....a minute a day...hehhee

skyline clocks run faster depending how much boost you run 'cough' 'cough'

[red900ss]

Yup Tony nearly got it right. :uh-huh:

The smart buggers at Nissan had this figured out. The Skyline clocks have a built in auto-relativity compensator. The system calculates how much to slew the clock to compensate for speed/time.

The faster you go, the faster time will pass outside the car. It will seem like a shorter time to you and the povo clocks inside the car.

Your watch and head unit would not have this feature so they will always be slow.
