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.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
