Hi Guys,

Just completed my diff ratio swoop in the gtr from 4.11 to 4.375(gts4) and i was wounder if anyone knew how to alter the speedometer to read correctly. As i believe it should be out now yes? Any help would be much appreciated.

It will be out, but changing the speedo drive pinion at the gearbox will fix that. Someone might have a secondhand one from a GTS4 gearbox, but the part number for a new one from Nissan is:

32703-05U21

Look up the businesses under "speedometers" in the Yellow Pages. Apparently they can re-calibrate the speedo with a "black-box" converter / adjuster.

Steve, what's the P/N for the Stagea's drive pinion?

no need to recalibrate if you change the speedo pinion.

here is the R32 GTR one:

here is the R32 GTS4 one:

the difference is 20 notches on the GTR one and 21 on the GTS4 one, it should swap straight in. The difference in speed you'll see on the speedo is roughly 0.3%.

The part number of the GTR pinion is 32703-05U20. THe GTS4 one is 32703-05U21. Just ring up nissan and grab it from them, it should be about $50.

...The difference in speed you'll see on the speedo is roughly 0.3%.

The difference is more like 5% (21 is 1 more than 20, ie 20 + 1/20 * 20, and 1/20 = 5%). Fortunately, the speedo will now read higher than reality, so far less likely to get photographed.

The error in mine, having gone from a GTS4 to a Stagea (4.083) diff, is roughly 7%. But mine reads under the real speed - caution, Will Robinson!

Are you sure the one on picture 2 is a GTR one, cause when i ordered a GTR pinion drive i got a RED gear, and the teeth are angled back the opposite way to my GTS4 gear. I tried to fit the RED GTR gear it in my GTS4 box but it wouldnt go in.

Are there 2 different GTR gears?

Hmmm, interesting.....according to FAST the gear in the ATESSA housing that drives the pinion shown in those photo's has the same part number for both GTR and GTS4 - it is identical in each case, so the pinion gear teeth form should also be the same.

Speedo Pionion assembly for the Stagea is:

32702-5P519 for the Aug 1998 and newer (auto and manual)

32743-0V120 for Sept 1996 to Aug 1997 (auto only)

32743-0V120 for Aug 1997 to Aug 1998 (auto only)... slightly different transfer assembly, but pinion is the same.

Dont know why the one i have has the teeth angled the opposite way, i have a VLturbo(MX7) drive gear hear also the teeth are angled the same way as the RED GTR gear i have....

The RED spedo gear i have works fine in my R33 turbo box, but wont go in the GTS4 box.

Will try and get some pics up.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
