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 :)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
