I followed all the tips you guys gave me.. regarding me changing over the dials.

When i took them off they were fine..

When i putt them on they were fine..

i was busy for 3 weeks and i was scared that my dials woudltn work..

last night i thought i would put my dash back together and see how it goes..

The battery went flat so i tried jump starting it...

It didnt work so i recharged it overnight and tried jump starting it today..

it worked but my the dials were out..

When i started the car the speedo dial went straight to 20 km's

and my revs speedo didnt work.. i reved it in neutral and the dial didnt move :ninja:

do i have to get it re-calibrated??

or do i have to buy a new speedo??

wheere should i bring it to?? a panel beater??

is the problem not fixable??

i dont get it i took it of without stuffing up my speedo.. i didnt pull out any springs??

anyone no whats happened??

wheere should i bring it to?? a panel beater??

Why would you take it to a panel beater? Its a problem with interior instrumentation.

Any decent mechanic (aka those listed in the recommended workshops list) should be able to fix it for you.

From the sounds of it, you haven't connected the plugs correctly. R33's have electronic tachometer relays rather than a speedo cable. Check the fuses to make sure you didnt blow anything while putting stuff back together, then if that doesnt work, take your dash apart again and check all plugs while the dash is off. If that doesn't work, take it to a mechanic. Dash clusters are literally plug and play for 33's and 34's.

    • I know this thread is quite old, but I found it, it helped me, but I also wanted to add my experience and troubleshooting finds to the chat for others. I have not been able to open the rear hatch of my 97 Stagea for several months. Figured it had just really sealed itself up over the winter and I would just get to it eventually. Well that day was yesterday. Some time ago, I noticed my battery was going flat all the time. It was frustrating. Then one quiet night in the garage, I could hear and ever so slight humming / grinding noise coming from the back of the car. It was like a really quiet popping sound or something like sand in a very low speed blender. I took off the panels in the back and noticed the noise coming from the auto close motor, so I unplugged it and the noise stopped. And the auto close was disabled. Well, fast forward to yesterday, I tried all the tricks with power and fuse and lock and unlock and I still could open the damn hatch. So I took off the panels from the inside and found the auto lock had engaged and was stuck in close position. When plugging and unplugging the fuse, I could hear the relay clicking. So I plugged the autoclose motor back in, and the damn thing let go. And immediately started making that grinding sound again. This time, instead of just unplugging the motor, I pulled the fuse, thus depowering the relay entirely. I don't have the autoclose feature now, but at least I can open the boot and not have my battery being sucked dead all the time. Not sure what caused the motor to latch when it was unplugged from the system, but I am pretty sure it won't cause any more problems now.  If anyone has a lead on a new motor, please let me know. It's a cool feature that I would like to get back.  Hope this helps.
    • Lolololol maybe, man I hate this car. Lapsed judgement a respray and a new motor, when I should have just scrapped the lot when I had the chance. Farken.
    • So you reckon a few sweety something's whispered in her window and she'll behave for me? 馃槢
    • One of the first things i do when i buy a car is to change the in cabin filter, because no one ever does. There seems to be conflicting statements on the internet, does anyone know if a 97 r33 actually has one?
    • Thankyou! I'll add a pic of my Z for good measure! 馃槢
