R34 GTT Intermittent Clocks

Looking for a bit of advice for my 98 manual R34 GTT, I keep having the speedometer and rev counter drop to zero followed by the TCS, Slip and CEL light up. I've recently upgraded to a nistune ECU and can see I'm getting the speed sensor code. The issue is intermittent and when driving the clocks return to normal or drop at any time.

 

I've replaced the sensor with an OEM part and fresh box oil with no success in getting rid of the problem.

 

Could it be that in disabling the speed limiter within nistune will have caused this issue? Anywhere else I should look?

 

It's been fine this past week in the warmer weather but now it's cooled down a tad the issue has returned.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks!

Wouldn't be the sensor. It's clearly a power issue at the dash. There is no power involved in the speed sensor - it generates its own power.

No.

It's a wiring/connector/fuse problem. Get the wiring diagram, look for the common power or earth that could cause all these things to shit themselves at the same time.

Would it be worth me checking the back of the dash in that case? Take that out and check the connections? As well as checking for the ground?

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      BCNR33/ECR33 Door corner piece replacement

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
