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?

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
