Odomoter Issue!

[CLNSKY]

Hi guys picked up my 97 gtsts yesterday freshly imported

One of the issues i just noticed is that my Odomoter for the current trip (So the one on the bottom) is flying!

I drove it from Baulkham Hills to Blacktown which is Max ~15km i'd say.

I reset the odomoter at the start of the trip and when i arrived at blacktown it said 60~ kms.

Any suggestions / is this fixable?

Cheers

Colin

id say the odo milage had a nice little hair cut before it left Japan and they stuffed up putting it back together.

id either ignore it or buy a 2nd hand one to replace it (not worth fixing). Either way, id do a 100,000km service and full fluid drop asap.

And congrats on the new car

The one you've reset is the tripmeter. That's the one that's going crazy

Does the odometer match it as you're going along?

And welcome to friendly SAU!

valid question this one.

but now you can definately add 100,000 to your odo.

Has just had the timing belt changed just before i bought it (Saw him do it physically when it came in).

Will report back tonight to see if it affects the main odomoter as well!

dont be to worried about someone taking kms off your odo, every non gtr is probably in the 200k kms

just do what everyone seems to do and buy a new odo, rack up 70,000 kms and when you want to sell it polish it. mint condish bro.

Hey guys. Feel very foolish lol. It was all user error and i misread it

Driving a car with a digital odo for 5 years has done me no good!

Everythings fine now im just a noob.

Sorry for wasting your time guys. Hopefully will get some pics soon if anyone was interested

So on your way to Blacktown your 'odo' "was flying" up to 6000rpm?

jk

Glad it's sorted Colin.

And yes, you might as well "confess" right here!

Leave it to us as to whether or not you receive absolution for wasting 2 mins of our lives!

I'd say most of the GTR's I saw when searching copped it just as bad as the other models.

No problem, thanks for keeping us updated and being truthful. I respect that.

Usually in this sort of situation a "op" would not return and just try and forget about it.

Not this op. good on you!

Thanks guys, awesome community here =)

More questions to come when they pop up

Hey Terry,

I went to carbon car systems to get my alarm installed and must say best blokes there, friendly and honest. I wanted to get a more expensive Viper system but they told me it wasn't worth it / not suitable for me etc and sold me a mongoose system fitted instead. Told him i found his business on SAU and he was like yes Mr terry!

Going back this week to get my head unit installed =D

Awesome guys would recommend !

That's great Colin!

On one occasion when a quote was given to supply & instal, they needed an extra part that they'd run out of. They went into Blacktown to procure the part but insisted on not charging me any extra. They even apologised for taking up extra time.

Good old fashion service at Carbon Car Systems & Daniel Gardener.

Chris Rogers in Brisbane has the same service approach.

+ 1 for Daniel, he's a great mate and does top work. Love him.

Got my head unit installed today on short notice (had about 4 cars there but squeezed me in) Found out my two front speakers where dead... Didn't charge me an arm and a leg to get things installed and replaced.

Very happy with their service still and can't wait till they start doing their tinting so i can go back and get some more work done

[GTR-N1]

That's good - in fact, that's great!
