did it just stop on its own, all of a sudden? were you installing indiglow gauges or something? ...did you check out the pins behind the dash? what about the fuses? sometimes obvius things get overlooked. keep us updated

 

kids with there Indiglo gauges..when will they learn..*shakes head*

 

*shakes and bangs head on keyboard*fdgafdrhfd
alright whats up with everyone shaking theyre head now???
is it the cool thing to do????

 

It's what cool old people do ..... 91 just got there........ hahaha

 

haha i have indiglo's too they were there when i bought the car but ive somewhat grown found of them there not trashy like most of them, however i also havea similiar problem maybe someone can help me with, my rpms gauge jumps around like ill start of from a light just driving and itll take a while to go up it kinda sticks but once ive been on the gas awhile like above 3000rpms it stays somewhat consisten any ideas?

 

...word

 

Z gauges are very sensitive... so sometimes when tempered with they can get stuck, or rubb on something.

 

Nice to see we have another smartass in the group. The older you get, the less it hurts to bang your head on the desk. Time dulls the pain. So does Budweiser.

I had an indiglo watch once. Does that help. What were we talking about?

 

YAY...I started another trend.

back to subject....
if indiglo gauges are involved, more than likely they've either lifted off the surface of the stock gauges or warped from heat/cold to contact the needle to prevent it from moving. I solved this problem for myself with of all things glue. *shrugs* whatever, it works.

 

so rizz what would you suggest i do; also you might have noticed i am missing the glass piece do you think that has anything to do with the lag of the rpms gauge but all of my others work perfectly so ive soewhat ruled that out so you think its jsut a matter of making sure that the indiglo gauges are flush? thanks

 

yeah, pretty much.

Since you're missing the glass, it'd be fairly easy for you to just reach in and see. Push the needle all the way around to redline and then let go and see if it snags at all on the way back. If it does, then you know it's your indiglo gauges not being flush. Now all you gotta do is disassemble the whole dash and glue your gauges flat. Or if your feeling especially dextrous you could try with the dash in place. I think you'd end up with a mess on your hands and dash though.

 

i concur

 

hahaha. Especially dextrous, huh. You kinda have to be to work on these cars sometimes.


Gauges 101....class is in session....
For those of you don't know, the 'RPM Gauge" is called a Tachometer (pronounced tackometer). Just and FYI. You can call it a 'tach' (pronouced tack) for short.

 

Was I suppose to take notes on that? hey hey don't forget about "tack" off of Initial D

 

*Raises fist in Rock on* Yeah the older U get, the less pain, believe me. I broke my leg when I was a kid and it hurtlike a biotch. I broke it clutching my Z against a 350 and I did not even notice untill I got home (cause I won). Those 350's suck off the line seriously. I'm a bone stock 90 N/a and I kicked a stock 350's ***. I ripped that 350 a new a-hole. and *word*.

 

lol i smell some tall tales lol when you were younger..ok, timeout and let me get this straight..you are 15 now..you broke your leg when you were younger...i am so confused..and when i broke my leg lol i deffintly felt it..congrats tho if you could drive a Z at younger age wish I coulda pulled it off

 

And how do you break your leg "clutching your z"?

 

Did this 350 know you were racing them? I said something in another post that went something like this.....a bone stock Z32 N/A with a 5 speed will not beat a 350z with an automatic. How can a stock Z32 N/A with 222HP @ 6800 RPM and 198 ft/lbs of torque @ 4800 RPM beat the Z33 with 280HP @ 6500 RPM and 260 ft/lbs of torque @4500 RPM? These 2 cars weigh almost the same. A stock Z32 N/A will run 0-60 in approx 7 seconds. A stock Z33 will run 0-60 in under 6 seconds.

If you broke your leg 'clutching your z', then you should consider calcium supplements. My grandmother needs it for her osteoporosis. Without it, you may wind up breaking your arm 'clutching your blanket'. If you're 15, then how are you out driving? We both live in CA. Legal driving age is 16. Please don't tell me you're doing all this with a learners permit.

Yes, we are all Z drivers; which creates an inherent bond between us, but no need to fabricate stories.

 

yah come on man..we all want the truth

 

Oh man, that line just made my day. Too funny.

 

lol 91zxtt your avatar is soooooooo correct

 

Don't tell me you had doubts about that?

 

ok ...let me get this straight.... you broke your leg shifting?????? ok so for you to be able to do that...you had to stump the pedal with such a force, that it is just insane....so if you did have such force in your legs you wouldn't have been able to brake it since you have some strong legs

Anyone else confused????

 

lol very...
