After some advice, havent been able to find anything indepth while searching.

Having some electrical issues with my R32 GTS4 4 door at the moment

When I turn the key to accessories, the speedo and tacho are flatlined at 0, I see the torque gauge for the 4wd system go to the 12 oclock position , from memory the other dials appear okay. When I start the car the tacho is at 0, and doesn't move.

I pulled out all the fuses and checked them, there was one blown 10amp fuse, which I replaced which didn't fix the issue.

The fuse I replaced has blown a number of times in a matter of a day it appears to be the door power window fuse as that's what affected, so i presume something somewhere in the electrics is not right.

A couple of things:

I am running a Vipec ECU. It would normally cycle the tacho from memory to redline when you first put the car on accessories, that doesn't happen anymore

After some advice as to what to check next before I get an auto electrician to check the car.

thanks

Update, Looks like I may have found the issue, both tailight inner brackets were lose, meaning the wires were at an unusual angle, need to wait to see how it goes, but the car hasn't blown a fuse yet after fixing this issue this morning.

Dead instruments is common on old Nissans. My Stagea speedo, tacho, fuel gauge and temp gauge sometimes die for no obvious reason and then come to life. Some people say you need to take out the cluster and apply heat to the soldered joints.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
