ok, so i know this has prob been covered before, so please forgive! but i just put an auto cluster into my manual r33 and the speedo is only reading half of what it should be (30kmh when doing 60). the reason i replaced it was because my old one was doing the usual speedo / tacho thing that 33's do, jumping all over the gauge. Reading through the forums, i have taken it that putting in the auto cluster shouldnt be a problem, so can anyone tell me how to fix this or post a link up to somewhere that can tell me how or what the problem is and how to fix? or could it be just the usual dry solder issue or something simple like that? any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Honestly u need to find a manual cluster. I did a manual conversion on a 33 and had the same issue of half speed. Only way that worked was to get a manual cluster. When i was researching i found a thread in the uk about soldering and unsoldering the calibration pins on the back of the cluster.

I suppose u should be able to copy the pins from the manual to the auto.

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      Isn't there a fitting on the back of the balance tube? That's what the OEM boost gauge uses.

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
