Hi all.

On a R33 GTS, RB25DET series 1, i need to find the the wire on the instrument cluster were the speed signal is in.

If i understand this correct, from the sensor it goes to the ECU and to the cluster.

My new vipec ECU can control the speedo, and I am trying to getting this to work but cant seem to locate the signal wire at the cluster.

33s run an electronic speedo and the signal goes straight to the cluster afaik, then a wire runs from there to the ecu to tell it when the cars moving. to adjust the speedo with the vipec it'd need to be wired in between the gbox and the cluster

Thank you for the reply.

you dont happen to know which wire at the cluster that is the signal wire? Were it comes in, and goes out again.

There is 4 wires total for the speedo, i can find + and -. So the last two is signal in and out?

thanks

You might want to look into the circuitry a bit further. I'm fairly certain that on my old GTI-R, the electronics in the dash altered the speed signal from the speed sensor before it is sent on to the ECU. I'm guessing here, but maybe the speed sensor gives out a sine wave and the electronics in the dash convert it to a 0-5V square wave for the ECU. Maybe you could modify the circuit to patch the Vipec in there somewhere.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
