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.

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.

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 :P

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?

So can we clarify that the combination of drives i was going to use as in the piccy is not going to work?

They are both 20 tooth

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.

:happy: cheers :O

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.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
