Instrument Specialist In Sa Who Is Familiar With R32 Gauges?

[mjtown]

Hi all,

I'm posting this here and in the 'SA' forum in case there are any non-SA people who may have had experianece with SA instrument specialists.

I've just bought an R32 GT-R and there's a minor problem with the speedo. Has anyone had good work done on R32 gauges in Adelaide? If you have, can you please let me know who you would recommend?

Cheers!

what is the problem exactly?

[mjtown]

Well, after starting (or any reasonable time stationary) the speedo reads 1.5-2 times the speed that my GPS speed readout gives. Forexample, yesterday in 110km/h traffic the needle was past the 180km/hr limit of the gauge. After a time the difference diminishes, and in some instances it returns to the correct reading. Today for example, it was showing 60km/h when the GPS was showing 60km/h amongst urban traffic.

The tacho and odometer are running correctly though.

does the speedo bounce around or pretty steady at incorrect speed?

using stock cluster or supermarket?

problem may be down to worn speedo cable, $100 new from nissan

It's the stock cluster and it's pretty steady actually. None of the symptoms associated with damaged cables that I can identify by searching these forums.

I popped into Gauge Works in Adelaide yesterday. They're pretty confident that they can sort it. I'll probably get them to fix it and I'll post the results in the forums to add to the knowledge base.

having issues with my cluster as well, speedo reads faster than the speed im actually doing (std sized wheels/diff etc). . .could you post what you end up paying for the work done please?.
