R33 Gtr (series 3) Dash Issue

[JET-R33]

Hi all,

Just picked up my series 3 R33 GTR and on the way home noticed that the tacho will 'stick' at revs, then jump around the dial and generally not do what it should

Is this a common issue? Any easy repairs/diagnosis on the issue?

Cheers

Daniel

(also, I've seen some series 3 with the standard 180km/h speedo, and others with a nismo 320km/h speedo - both have claimed it's factory OEM fitment for the series 3 - which really is??)

Excuse my noob-ness. I've done a search and found that this is a pretty common issue. Also found the DIY cluster removal so I'll give it a go on the weekend and check the connectors on the back of the cluster. If that doesn't fix it, then I suppose I'm up for a new cluster

The 180 km speedo is standard equipment in Japan for new cars.

The Nismo speedo and / or complete cluster is an after market replacement that is simply a plug and play upgrade. The components in a GTR cluster and Nismo cluster are interchangeable and in my case I transferred my GTR tacho to the Nismo cluster as I preferred it to the Nismo tacho. If you go for a Nismo cluster shop around before you buy as you can same hundreds of dollars on the same item.

Thanks mate - I was pretty certain that the 180km/h speedo was the original factory fitment (like all other imports i've dealt with).

Hopefully I won't need to replace my cluster, but I'll definitely shop around if it comes to that. Cheers

My tacho is playing up too

It flickers all over the place.

Let me know if you can fix it. I don't want to be putting in a new cluster

Will do mate - I'm hoping to pull it apart this weekend so I'll report back once it's done. I'm hoping to avoid putting in a new cluster too so fingers crossed it's just a loose connector.
