Well I just did the conversion and yeah, as Simon said, the gearbox crossmember lines straight up to the factory holes. Mine was originally an auto, and I dont know what cross member I'm using... Didn't line up with the RB20 gearbox though. Engine is ~30mm lower and have had no issues with the box fouling on the tunnel or anything like that. :(

bit off topic but i know u have aftermarket sway bars so u may be able to help. i dropped my motor the same amount as what cubes pdf says and i cant fit an aftermarket swaybar (the sump fouls) how'd u go?

Did you do yours or did shaun lower it?

Looking at yours its definitely sitting lower than mine. :rofl:

As salad said to me.. Grab a bit of plate cut it to shape and space the swaybar chassis mounts down slightly so the aftermarket bar fits.

using the rb20det sump provides more clearance around the sway bar area.

25 shifters are a lot longer then a 20 shifter... i find it quite annoying acctually and i'll prob fit a 20 shifter back in to my car, Too many mis shifts from 2nd to 3rd while drifting on the track... im not THAT retarded but the shifter makes me feel like a doofus every time! lol

Im very surprised you didnt have to reduce the tailshaft length... mine simply would not fit! oh well its in now lol

cant use a rb20 shifter in a 25 box unfort

the balls on the end of the shifter are much bigger on the 25

20 shifter will just float around in it

You sure? Mine sits in there pretty nicely.

I dont think the RB20 sump offers any more clearance for the sump, the swaybar seems to be fouling at the front where the RB30 and RB20 sumps are the same shape.

I will just be spacing the swaybar down to make it fit, shouldn't have to go too much, almost fits (stocker) as it is, and it's pretty low as is!

cept it only has 2 wires...and the r32 speedo is mechanical

I know the 32 speedo is mechanical i was thinking of adapting a 33 speedo into a 32 gauge cluster. Having only 2 wires makes it a magnetic inductance sensor. the 33 clusters only have one signal in which means there is something else between the sensor and cluster, probably a BCM of some sort making it just about impossible to use the sensor and factory speedo.

How would one go about hooking up the R33 eletric drive to an APEXi RSM?

See my speedo hasnt worked for a while because the plastic attachment into the back of the speedo has shattered after I put too much glue in it and forced it back on too hard. I would need to do the navara speedo drive bit and get a bit made up for the cable to speedo. Wouldnt it just be easier for me to hook up the R33 speedo drive and use the signal from that to operate a Rev/speed meter???

Anyone know how to get the R33 speedo drive to send a signal???

Thanks

would love to know the location of this speed sensor - attached

one day i will have to try and trace the 2 wires from the rb25 box to the cluster to see if the conversion of the signal is done inside the cluster or externally.

So are you saying its only two wires from the R33 speedo drive that then go into another device and get turned into a single wire that goes to the ecu and speedo?

thats what i was thinking about finding out

the wire 53 speed wire is the one people cut to remove the 180km limiter

so this external box (in the pic) is either the dash cluster or another box in the loom somewhere.

if anyone could get the entire workshop manual for these cars like the one i have for a 180sx which shows every wire and where it is in the car it would be alot easier to work out

Getting tail shaft made next week but still waiting on gearbox delivery so can anyone tell me the length from diff to gearbox?

Mine was a manual if it makes a difference.

Thanks,

Daniel

so will the drive send a signal if its just hooked up to 12v and earth?

If it does then I should be able to use that signal for a aftermarket speedo device (apexi RSM or AVC-R)

i tried doing this with mine and it didnt work :P so i sold the rsm and got a navara drive

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
