My speedo doesn't work occasionally... usually after a little while it just flicks up to the speed I'm going. One time it didn't move for like 5 minutes so being annoyed at it I tapped the plastic in front of the speedo and it flicked right up straight away. So now each time I just give it a little flick. =p

Your problem is probably a little different because you said everything else doesn't seem to work. Me posting my little story probably didn't help very much...

No thats fine i can use any adivice i can find. i tried tapping the cluster but i wouldnt make a difference. I took to the mechanic who put in all my mods cause the problem happened after i got my computer. They couldnt fix it though. The took the whole cluster out and all.

I'm having that exact problem with my r33! any luck with fixing it? mine has been getting worse, dropping out more often and getting harder to 'flick' back up! I did find that pushing in the trip button on the speedo gets it working again too. i've pulled the cluster out and tightened screws, wires etc, but same issue always comes back. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this would be great, very annoying problem!

      Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving

      Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)

      From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
