Hello mates and mate-ettes... I don't know if I'm posting this topic in the right section or not.

If not, please feel free to flame my retard ass, but try to help out as well :(

I've bought a second hand, but unused Damsel speedo for my 1993 R33 GTST.

My OE speedo now reads kph, after I've removed the converter chip thingy from the gauge clusters' loom.

But, after installing the Damsel 320kph speedo, it reads miles... as if there still is a converter in there.

There's no switch on the back or something, and I don't know what going on with it.

As far as I know, a R33 GTR speedo works fine in a GTST, so if this speedo would be for a GTR in stead, it wouldn't matter, right?

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
