Hey

Has anyone had their speedo drive shaft shear off???

I have a rb25det box in my r32, ive used a r32 gtr case and shaft and fitted the rb25det gear on top (red).

It has worked sweet for the last 2000 odd km's but has recently sheared off and lodged its self in my box.

Gotta pull the box apart and fix the drive, I dont want this to happen again... Did i do something wrong???

The shaft has some wear, may have been expanding when warm causing the other end to shear?

I had also been doing some tuning and seen several off the clock speeds... but speedo didnt go right back to zero so shouldnt be a problem aye?

cheers

Rob i would say that the r32gtr speedo drive may have a different offset round to the r33 one so the driven gear was loaded onto the driving gear too hard causing the shaft to break were its been flexing. Or the red driven gear has a larger diameter causing the same problem.

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
