How do fix a stopped one? mine currently stopped at around 92km i took everything out to see what was wrong checked the km on the spedo the gears seems to b working. put it bak together it worked then suddenly it stopped again!

What could be wrong? an auto electrician said it could be the sensor or something on the gear box? possibly i reckon.

any one else know?

cheers

If you haven't sussed this out already then I would ask ; (1) Is both kph & total kms not functioning? If both not functioning then (2) Beg/borrow/steal substitute sensor to eliminate sensor? (3) Check wiring loom/connectors for dodgy connection.

If one part (kph or total) works & other not the problem most likely in panel meter. Bad/corroded connection, cracked cct board?

Jason, I'm pretty sure that's faulty connection to the reverse sensor. Mine does it as well, but because mine used to auto, the buzzer turns on and off randomly.

I'm going to throw it on the hoist at work and have a looksie. I'll let you know how it goes.

yeah i bought my r34 auto and after about a week my entire dash died (speedo went to zero tacho went to zero total kms driven blanked) this went in and out for about 4 months then seemed to fix itself.... nowadays it does it maybe once a month or so.... just thought i'd throw my 2 cents in...also when my car is in reverse it makes a nice reminder beep but every so often its becomes a horrible slow buzz sound like the battery is dyin?? any idea what may be wrong???

cheers

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Looking for autoelectrician in Perth who can do the OEM to double din stereo upgrade.

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
