Hey just bought a skyline r33 turbo and its taco needle is all over the place, fluttering from betweek 3000-9000 rpm all the time. rarely is acurate and spends most of its time past red line.

wat could be causing this guys?

all help and input appreciated.

Either the tacho needle has been bumped and could have a loose connection, or it'll be a wiring issue somewhere.

I have the same prob, thought I fixed it but the problem soon returned.

Ive got a PFC so i can use the hand controller to show revs (its signal is fine).

So for me i know that the ecu is getting a good rpm signal but the problem is happening either at the tacho or in the wire that runs from the ecu to the tacho. Still yet to fix it. ;(

If i give the dash a hit it usually fixes itself (for a bit). lol

      Yep, the plan is to do some work in Japan, as I mentioned above possibly keeping it there longer than November 2025. Frankly, I'm not dealing with TopRank ever again and, because my car is no longer with them, I could work with BBL/GY directly👍 But alas, I'm not looking at major bodywork just yet.

      Yeah I had the probes on the battery terminals.  Sounds good. What reading should I expect to see in a car that runs well?

      Quick Lifts? Anybody got one?

      I went for the scissor lift option, gives a 3ft lift at full lift. I wanted a 2 post but my concrete wasn't deep enough to secure it properly

      Depending on exactly where that voltage is being measured, that is most likely the battery is f**ked. If the multimeter probes are on the battery's own terminals, then it is f**ked. If they are on the car's terminals, then there is a bad connection. Either are fatal to the attempt to start it. Literally just put it on the 20VDC range, put one probe on the battery's -ve terminal (ideally not the car's terminal) and the other on the block somewhere exposed/metal, like an engine mount bolt head. You can also test the earth lead is steps, so from battery to body earth, body earth to engine connection point, engine connection point to some other spot on the engine, to see if you can isolate where a shit connection actually is.

      I meant to write 50 originally and then double checked the price and found it was ¥12m (125k) and came to edit it and realized I had accidentally added and extra 0 in the first place lol
