First of all when i installed it Everything is fine but the idle sits at 1.5 When my old cluster was in there it was sitting at 1G. So what i did was swap the motor on the back of the rev taco and replaced it with my old one , So now its sits at 900 at idle i mean its closer then 1.5 But anyways i just noticed the rev taco is really slow i mean i put my foot down and it lags its not responsive at ALL Id push the throttle and it sounds like it reaches 5k-rpm and drops but because its so slow it doesnt even reach 5k it gets to 3k and by that time the rev is already back to idle so it makes its way back down again. FYI my speedo cable has snapped recently as well i dont know if that will make it lag so much! IM SO FRUSTRATED I spent 350 on this cluster i dont want to throw it in the f*kN BIN ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! what shall i do???

The reason i swapped it in the first place is because the nismo taco used to read 1.5k when it was really 1000-1100 and when i played with the rev counter it used to be floppy as in when i lifter the needle to 3k or whatever the needle would just drop back free fall instead of slowly go down. my oem taco didnt do that used to drop down slowly. maybe i didnt push the needle backin right?

I had exactly the same problem,

Here is the fix:

firstly I would put the nismo motor on the tacho back on then:

you need to take note of the idle with your standard dash, then pull the face off and back ( from memory ) so you can get to the back of the tacho inside the dash, there is a small calibration screw on the side of it, just adjust to match old one thumbsup.gif

make sure you have very clean hands and don't leave dust and stuff inside the dash.. cotton gloves if you have them to stop finger marks, I just made sure I didn't touch the inside screen.

If its just a tacho issue that should fix it.

I remember seeing that screw how the hell can you adjust it while its idling? anyways i think I fixed it, OMG its so fiddly, anyways it seems like the needle itself was not pushed in properly and was the reason its slow cause it was getting stuck at certain points.

Anyways when you put the needle back on the face how the hell do you know what position your meant to push it in, I actually had the car started and i pulled the needle off and pushed it back on at the right position. It was like Trial and error until i got it in the right position...

Anyways at the moment my idle taco shows 1000-1100, My power FC shows 980-1000-rpm... Is this normal?? Anyways im thinking of pulling the face off again and matching it to exactly what the power fc shows? Is that more correct then the actual taco itself?

    • The values for HID colour are also defined ~ see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2006L02732/latest/text  ~ goto section 3.9 onwards ....
    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
