hey all, i have an R32 with RB25 + box.

the revs are fine but speedo tends to sit bout 20k's out. when u hit 100k's+ bout 20-30k's out

took it to workshop on wednesday, its low enough for them to spend 15mins getting pieces of wood for me to drive onto before being able to even fit the jack under :P

they where un sure as to what the deal was, something was mentinod to me about "cable too tight which is why the speedo changes more when higher speed" then told that isnt the case.

its booked in for next week, n they rekn will probably have to try a bunch of different things to get it sorted.

so R32's run cables while R33's have some kind of electronic system correct?

would something like an apexi RSM be a suitable substitute?

thanks

Yes, R32's have a cable all the way to the dash where it is then converted to a signal the ECU can read.

R33's have an electronic sender on the gearbox.

R32 have a final drive ratio of ~4.3:1 while R33's have a final drive ratio of ~4.1:1, the senders on the gearbox have different toothed cogs to account for this.

Have a search of the forums, there is a LOT of info on putting 25 boxes in 32's and overcoming the speedo problem.

Basically, you start with a Navara sender (comes with a 17T cog) and then swap in a cog that fits/suits.

As I changed my final drive ratio to 3.9:1, I found that the 17T cog on the Navara sender was pretty damn close and would be fine.. it reads 7kmh high which is fine in my books :)

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
