Yes, R32's have a cable all the way to the dash where it is then converted to a signal the ECU can read. R33's have an electronic sender on the gearbox. R32 have a final drive ratio of ~4.3:1 while R33's have a final drive ratio of ~4.1:1, the senders on the gearbox have different toothed cogs to account for this. Have a search of the forums, there is a LOT of info on putting 25 boxes in 32's and overcoming the speedo problem. Basically, you start with a Navara sender (comes with a 17T cog) and then swap in a cog that fits/suits. As I changed my final drive ratio to 3.9:1, I found that the 17T cog on the Navara sender was pretty damn close and would be fine.. it reads 7kmh high which is fine in my books

A mate has these on his 30, makes 540whp @ 1.3bar! I've got a GT35R w/ .82 housing to go on my 30

Why do you want an alternative? When I put the 25 box in my car, the tailshaft place used a brand new yoke.. whether they had it machined up or there's an off the shelf part, I don't know

Is the pedal bracket still intact?

I think there is something similar used by insurers for panel repairs..

Interesting.. in what way did you fiddle with it? (and I hope it wasn't in a priestly way )

BURNOUT FAIL.

What time does it start/finish? I have to work Saturday

Spot on. I would be getting an aftermarket electric oil pressure gauge anyway...

Umm, you're doing something wrong then. My suggestions are either, figure out what you're doing wrong (probably not rotating the sender to the correct angle and as such it's chewing out the gear), or just put a whole untouched Navara sender in without modifying it and live with the speedo being out some. Going backwards to an RB20DET box is sheer stupidity in my book. I used an unmodified Navara sender (as I have different diff. ratios and it worked out pretty close to keep the 17T navara cog.. my speedo reads 7kmh high) and have had no problems whatsoever, been in there for over 6 months now.

If you get a complete engine from RIPS I'm sure they will have covered every base, especially if you tell them what the intended use is (severely beating up on it ).

wow.. necromancy and flamage with one stone!

Search and ye shall find how shit they are.

3.9:1 ftw heh

I'm running a stock 25s1 turbo for now.. 12psi by 2200rpm, 183rwkw@4650rpm, dies in the ass after 5800rpm. IMO a 20 turbo would be ridiculously small, a VG30 would be the best "stock" option to start with with a neo turbo following closely behind.

If your ecu isn't getting a proper speed signal it doesn't know when you've come to a full stop so the ECU doesn't know when to go from overrun to idle..

My RB20 box lasted less than 2 months once the 30 went in.. 2nd gear clutchdrops FTW!

I have a restriction, 245rwhp down to 90rwhp over a 1000rpm span (5.8k to 6.8k) and boost climbs from 12psi to 14psi (in the higher gears) so I wouldn't exactly call yours a massive restriction I was insinuating that it could be the turbo out of it's efficiency range, yes it's holding boost but airflow and temperature of air probably isn't optimal..

Are you sure it's a 25 turbo? almost sounds like a 20 turbo running out of puff..

I'm just running a new RB20 headgasket. That will get you around driving, I drove mine for a few months on an ecu chip from a groupbuy (basically just had airflow cut and speed cut removed). That said, you WILL max your airflow meter.. I maxed mine pretty quickly so when I went for a tune I threw a z32 afm and some 550cc injectors in there to make the most of the tune cost.

Yeah well basically I got a sticker, grabbed one of those cats to go over the pits. It made a huge difference to response and topend that I took it out before the car went to the tuners. Might not be an issue on stock motors at stock boost but on my 30, no good

Boost control would also be a lot nicer with that gate setup, but you wouldn't have the extreme heat of the exhaust gasses aiding in turning the turbine I guess.. but on big v8s I really not see the long pipework being an issue.

I think it's more done for the reason of not being able to squeeze turbos into crowded engine bays. STS Turbos in the US have gotten good results from remote mounted turbos on Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes etc.

They're sh~t. Wogan, what happens to the boost over 6000rpm?
