hey i hav now sort of finished putting a 33 box in my 32 the only problem i have is with the speedo... i got the nissan navara one with the part number off these forums.. but the speedo is reading higher by about 20kms at 100kms. so when i am doing 100kms. the speedo is roughly saying 120kms.. am i suposed to pull the cog off the r33 speedo drive and put it on the navara one? i dont think its right as the r33 cog is a fair bit larger than the one on the navara.. and if i were to put this cog on it would read even higher... i may be wrong tho... any help would b good...

Yeah dude, get photos hey. Someone had them before but I think with all the forum changes over the years they have vanished somewhere. Even if its just a pic of the two cogs together, then changed over.

the only problem is that i think i am going to have to superglue it on or something.. the r33 one has a c clip holding it on and the navara one is either glued or pressed.. i am about do do it now. i will take pics n get back 2 u's...

ok i still havnt changed them yet but i have a new problem... i cant get my reverse lights to work!!!! i have tried changing plugs, everything!!! they either stay on for every gear or are not on at all!!! can some1 please help? what are the 2 sensors that come out of the box for? 1 is obviously for reverse but whats the other??

Could be similar to mine was, so it's 'reverse' in every gear except reverse itself.. Was yours an auto to begin with by any chance? I had to rig up a negative trigger relay to get mine all working ok, so it reversed the signal.

Out of the box - one is neutral sensor, the other is the reverse.

nah it has always been manual.. just changing to aa 25 box, 1 way i hook it up the light is on in every gear including reverse, but not in neutral, the other way it does not come on at all.... why does it need a neutral switch???

I'm thinking your reverse light might be similar to my boot light. Bear with me here. :O

I wanted a second light in my boot so I slipped a wire onto the positive terminal and the second I just earthed. The light worked. What I didn't realise is that it didn't turn off when I shut the boot.

I don't know what the concept is called but it's something like 'negative switched'. Basically if you use a normal earth the circuit will be complete but the switch is on the negative side of the thing you are powering up rather than the positive which is what I was expecting.

So (here comes the relevance) if you are earthing your reverse switch the wrong way the lights will always be on and if you think the wires are just back to front they will always be off. You need to find the right earth for that switch.

Now I wouldn't have a clue about reverse switches but your story just rang bells for me and my dilemma with my boot light.

ok i will give that a go with the reverse light....

now i have just been spending the last couple of hours changing the cogs on the speedo drive.. and here is what i am up to...

this pick shows the two speedo drives together... the r33 and the nissan navara one.. as you can see the r33 cog is considerably larger than the one on the navara...

in this pick i have got both the cogs off, the r33 one comes off easilly as it is held on by a c clip, the navara one is very difficult, as you can tell and i just hacked the stupid thing off!! but as you can see it is pressed/moulded on, so u have to cut it off...

post-24129-1159412371.jpg post-24129-1159412388.jpg

here you can see the two shafts together so u can see the difference.. you have to drill out the r33 cog a bit to get it to fit on.. i used a 9.5mm drill bit and it was a bit too small, and i cracked the cog!!!!, so i am now waiting for the superclue to dry and i will drill it out with a 10mm bit. hopefully it wont b too loose. but i will glue it on to be safe.. i will get back to yous when done...

the speedo was accurate when i finished and put it back in and everything.. but just then the speedo stopped working so i think the cog has fallen off in the gearbox... and i dont think i will be able to get it out without pulling it apart... so i was wondering if you guys would know if it is dangerous leaving it in there? will i do damage to the box? it is only plastic so would it just grind up? then i will change the oil in a month or so and it will come out when its a bit smaller?? lol wishful thinking...

    • 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.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
