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 thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • 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.
