Nismo cluster and 300km speedo

[ed]

nah, the ECR34 nismo speedo for about 1grand is about right

Another option is the Tommy Kaira one which is about a grand too

What about we organize a cruise skyline33,,,,you know,,, couple bottles of octane booster,,,head off to sunny Northern Territory,,,I'd be interested to see just how fast these cars go,,,out there you gotta be looking for at least 240/250.

Just put the 320km Nismo cluster in my GTS-T. Didn't need to adjust anything - only had to disconnect the airbag light. The speedo is only 2kms out.

[kik-ass]

I put a 300km speedo in my car recently and saw the cruise light there too. I bought one of those nz made translations of the factory car manual and it clearly shows that cruise was an option. If someone out there can source 'em I want one!

yeah i test drove a white 34gtt with the tommy k dash, i didnt like the digital speedo much though!

And for the same money [$1k] i prefer the Nismo dash - except i dunno if i like the yellow / orange text on it. what colour is it @ nite i wonder?

[Neil]

If anybody ever doubted R33 GTS-T's ever had Cruise as an option,,,Take a look at the Throttle Cable Bracket on the Inlet Manifold,,,YES it has an extra spot for another cable and then look at the Throttle Body Shaft,,,,ahhhh extra long,,,just to take the 2nd Spindle for the Cruise Cable.

I want Cruise,,,,,

Denham,

I haven't put my speedo on yet, too busy. Hope it's easy enough to do by myself as I never dismantle my dashboard before.

Does anyone know if that speed check thing on Princes Fwy from Geelong inbound still works? The one that displays your speed on the monitors under the crossover bridge. Ever since they had a roadwork there I never seen em working again.

That's one place where you can check if 100 km/h on your speedo is really 100km/h. Or you cross reference with another car, ask your mate/bro/sis to follow you doing 60/80/100 and then check if their speedo reading and yours are similar. I did that once with my old 86 Cressida and found that to cruise at "real" 60km/h, I need to speed up to 70km/h as that old speedo was buggered!

No wonder when I drove that old car 60km/h on the main road, 10 out of 10 ppl are tailgating me! In reality, I was travelling 50km/h only hahaha...

rianto

since its the whole dash unit u r replacing its a piece of piss to change

$728AUS for the R34GTT Nismo dash inc. speedo at taka's.

[NismoR34]

nice price rev ~ they must have dropped recently!

rs73: the speedo check is back up! I have used it twice in the last few weeks ~ my reading was only 1 km/h out. Needle was dead on 100 and it reported 101 - I got exactly the same reading twice.

so in theory being 1% out isnt too bad, plus its better to know which way its out too [doing 60 for me is really 60.6].

Considering I have different sized wheels and tyres to standard this is very acceptable. Standard ones will be near on dead accurate cause I know from calculations which way it will go.

Sorry started to get a bit carried away there.../end rant

[Guest INASNT]

its better to actually drive past those speed checks at like 160km/h they flash * slow down slow down *

Remember when they started those 50km/h in built up areas speed limit and they had those mobile speed check down sidestreets? Well there was 1 down my street for about a week so me and my friends played games in the night with it to see who could get the fastest speeds from certain points down my street to the speed detector.

[NismoR34]

darn, I didnt have one in my street back then, hang on maybe cause i was in a court then? lol [true story].

now that would have been interesting!

[rs73]

Denham,

You mean the best speed running on foot past those detectors?

:lol:
