Speed sensor cable is snapped. Can get one for $110 new from Main North Nissan or $80 from nisswreck second hand.

+1 to what Ben said.....most likely is the cause mate

Buy brand new from Nissan mate as sometimes second hand cables can be unreliable

[Cain]

tis it fun to install?

[Krishy]

never done one so cannot really comment on that one for ya mate.....but if all else fails call up a mechanic and ask for their opinion on how long this might take

My rev tacho doesnt work.

It stopped after I had a complete power and electrical loss... everything went back to normal besides my dash rev tacho...

CBF fixing it because I have been told the whole dash would need to come out.

[Damo_R34]

could just be a fuse penny?

[ontheranch]

If it was a fuse, wouldnt the whole dash dead?

[Krishy]

umm not really as there are seperate fuses for seperate item in the dash

[ontheranch]

It happened ages ago, I cant remember what I did but I know I checked it out at the time and took it to an auto electrician who said they didnt know so they would need to pull the dash out. Mind you they dont know skylines well.

Feel free to take a look if I come to vilis

take it to a reputable workshop that know their imports penny

would save you some headache i guess and no guess work

its the little speed sensor/needle.

its hard to explain, but theres this little plastic thing at the end of ur cable which cracks, common problem, if u buy a replacement one it will probably just happen again, especially with drift etc.

people usually say just put a cable tie around the tube to hold it in place, we got some very thin wire, wrapped it around, then put some araldite on it to bond it. hasnt broken yet.

everyone is correct,

takes about 30 minutes to install, and with 2 people its easy as.

Pull out your cluster

Undo speedo drive out of gearbox

Look under your brake master on the firewall in the engine bay, there is a triangle looking black rubber/plastic about the size of your palm. Held in with 3 bolt, undo them.

Get back in the car and look at whats left behind your cluster there is your speed drive, push it too the left and it unclips. You should then be able to pull it out through your firewall into the engine bay.

Repeat in reverse.
