Solution for S13Grl's Broken HUD

[nismo270r]

Hey!  I found what I was telling you about at the meet up in Niles.  The aftermarket HUD unit from Defi.  Check out the link.  And it's a helluva lot cheaper than the factory unit!

or u can tell me what is broken and i can try to get something for u

[nismo270r]

She said her HUD will turn on for a little bit right after starting the car, then it just shuts off...I don't know much about the HUD units since I have an S14...Although I thought about getting a Defi unit.  Pretty cool...

[S13Grl]

My HUD is working fine. What isn't working is the speedo itself. So, I don't think that would help me any at all, thanks so much for the info.

I found this performance meter for $120.00; I just might buy that.

What's your solution, drifter?

(Thanks, Chris, I appreciate it very much!)

[drifterx]

try to change the speedo cable

[S13Grl]

I think it has to do with the little bulbs. Now they don't come on at all anymore. The speedo used to work for five seconds, and if I let the car roll, it would move (0-1-2-3-4) and by then it would shut off. Now it doesn't even do that anymore.

[drifterx]

it probably is the speedo cable

[nismo270r]

Is that performance meter you're talking about the A'pexi rev/speed meter? &nbsp;If so, the install is rather easy. &nbsp;We could probably make a meet of it. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;Just let me know if you plan on getting it...

[S13Grl]

Sank you sir, I will do that! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[s14guy]

I don't think she needs you to meet her to do that I can &nbsp;probably handle that just fine =)

hahahahahha.......maybe the two guys should just meet each other.....if it's only about a meter <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

s13 girtl my hud was intermittent and it was a open in the wire you can easily run a whole new wire all the way to the dash or find between where the open is. thats what i did. or check the speedo gear then the voltage on the speedo itself it should be &nbsp;0.5v a.c on a voltometer. &nbsp;its easy and a kwik fix didnt take me long to fix it it's just trouble shooting.

[S13Grl]

You're also a certified Nissan Mechanic, and I'm not. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Haha, S14Guy is my boyfriend, so he's already met Chris. Sorry, guys, I've ruined your little Jerry Springer Car-parts story. (WTF?!?!)

Chris, I honestly have no idea when our next meet will be. Unless you're coming to Chicago for whatever reason and you wanna meet up with me and Mike, and other peeople with 240s, you shouldn't worry about it. Thanks so much for offering to help though <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.

[nismo270r]

Hahah...that's what I was talking about. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;All these crazies on Zilvia are wantin' to see some crazy Springer stuff goin' on! &nbsp;HEHE...I'll most likely be up to Chicago before the next actual meet is, so I'll email either you or Mike and get ahold of you before I come up...Maybe meet up and go eat some greasy ass gyros again...HAHAHA &nbsp;My heart is kickin' me in the ass for that night... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;Usually if I go up there Rob tags along for the drive, so we can all go chill somewhere. &nbsp;What area of Chicago are you two in?

[S13Grl]

Mike lives about two minutes from where we ate Gyros (definitely greasy, but good!), and I live all the way at the lake, by Loyola University. It takes me about 10-15 minutes to get to where we were from my house. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>. Definitely let me know if you guys are coming, I check my email more often than Mike. Thanks so much!

uhh tewchnically im not nissan cert. yet. but i do have my ase test today for brakes and the 13th for manual trans and drivelines. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[nismo270r]

Ahh...so he's right around the Skokie area? &nbsp;Right on...yeah, I'll just email you guys before I come up there. &nbsp;We can find somewhere to meet up and chill. &nbsp;Maybe we could some of the boosted boys to come out and play too! &nbsp;G'####...I need an SR....ARGH!!!!!

What's that?
Sounds like an Old School Nintendo game (8-bit version)

[Grant]

Hey s14guy, this is off topic, but i hear from s13grl you have an AEM intake, and you think that Injen is better. Why is that? are you selling your AEM??? Please let me know, because I'm looking into buying one.

i dunno i want to really open up my own place either a internet based store for hard to find jdm parts like sr's and offer to do swaps or something. i dont know about being a tech no more. my hands are always dirty, though i love working on nissans. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> woe is me i'm confused.

well i just finished taking my ase for brakes earlier tonight i will get results in jan. and will take my man trans ase the 13th so i will see what i will do after i get results

[Grant]

Well, then I've decided to get the AEM then, see its not bad then. &nbsp;Group 5 Motorsports is selling it for $190, so i think that'll do.

[S13Grl]

That's a good deal, Grant.

Camppain, when do you plan on opening your own shop? It &nbsp;would be hard to open up a net-based shop that will have SRs. What do you plan to do?

it wont really be hard just a loota $$$$

well anything is hard it just needs dedication and good customer service.

i would focus on the cust serv mainly to build a rep and stay with that. a shop would probably be in the future maybe ultimate silvia or se-r i dunno <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

I honestly DESPERATELY wanna work in an import shop.

sure you could run everything just give me a tool and let me work thats what i want i just hate the biz side of it.
