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.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
