R32 Gtst Gearbox Conversion, To R33 Manual

[blur]

Hi all, i have a r32 gtst that i have fitted a r33 style rb25det gearbox to. the r33 has a electronic speedo whereas the r32 has a mechanical drive. is there a way around this as the r33 type speedo drive is much longer than the r32 type. is there one out of another car i should be using??

has anyone else performed this conversion?

use red cog off bottom of r33 speedo drive. Get a 32 gtr speedo drive. Cut buff coloured cog off gtr drive, install red r33 cog onto gtr drive. screw in r32 speedo cable.

Done.

Ive done a post in the past, i'll try find a link.

photo below shows red cod of r33 speedo drive installed onto r32 gtr speedo drive on left. On right is std gtr speedo drive.

You can actually buy them from Lincorp Automotive for $100 delivered. The part has the R33 gear for the gear box but uses the R32 speedo drive. They did, however, send me the wrong one, so i had to swap the gear off the R32 speedo drive. Pretty easy to do. Speak to Tim 02 96845777.

u can order from nissan direct pm me for details

Stuff paying that much!

Go get a nissan navara one for $20-25 brand new. Do the exact same thing as Bl4cK32 said, just with a drive that is new, and a lot cheaper! Part number = 32702 - 02G17 pinnion assembly.

If you dont already know you will also need a new clutch slave cyl, you will need the R33 one that matches your gearbox.

Now as I have just saved you money, please forward $25 to my account

alittle off topic, but can you keep your r32 clutch and flywheel when you fit the r33 gearbox?

[Bl4cK32]

as long as the rb25 box uses a push style clutch, yes.

I am a little confused by this..

In this pic I have a R33 GTST drive at the top and a 32 GTR drive below

the thing that confuses me is that the gears are oriented differently, is this going to work if i swap the drives?

[NateR31]

you can also use a VL turbo one, thats what i used with my R34GTT box into my 31

32702 - 02G17 pinnion assembly this part is the same as vl turb it has the wrong number of teeth ex japan from nissan change the 17 on the end to a 21 and there u go now anyone out there find this usefull please send me some cash it took a lot of buying of holden and nissan parts to find this out ah yes i have a r33 turbo bot in my 32 and my speedo works and its bang on accurate 21 tooth std 21 tooth replacement

They are both 20 tooth

Im interested also!!

use a s13 ca18 manual speedo sender in the r32 box

[T04GTR]

red = 4.11:1 diff ratio

the s13 ones are all eletric. and the plu is the same

[T04GTR]

woops wrong way around.

32 gtr sender will fit i think

[T04GTR]

or a vl turbo one

[Sydneykid]

Im interested also!!

Yes, it will work. The R32 speedo drive is on top of the output shaft and the R33 speedo drive is below the output shaft. So the teeth have to be cut for the reverse direction.

cheers

I am also still confused. Neo is saying the part number ending with 17 is incorrect and it needs to end in 21, hence 21 teeth as this number of teeth he says will make it accurate. But what has how many teeth on the end of it got to do with anything as isnt the idea to cut the gear off anyways?

Or have I missed something?

Looking up Nissan part numbers and specs the 32 GTR sender has 20 teeth whereas the 32 GTS4 has 21 teeth. But as I said it dont really matter does it?

Or has Neo not used the 33 cog and installed the Navara 21 tooth sender assembly complete and unmodified? I need to order a sender this week and want to make sure I get what is required. I will give this Lincorp a call as well and see what he has to say.
