Navara Speedo Conversion For R32 With R33 Box.

[wlspn]

I have an R32 GTST with RB25DET & R33 gearbox.

Just tonight (in the dark) I fitted my modified Navara/VL speedo drive as per the DIY guide.

However to then get my speedo cable screwed onto the end of it, I had to really bend the cable around more than I would have liked. It is now hooked up fine but the cable is doing a quite sharp 180-degree turn then a sharp 90...

Wondering what other people with the same setup have done in regards to this?

If there is no straight-forward solution or if people are just leaving it like this I will work something out myself when I have more time ( & light...)

At the moment the cable is still held by the standard brackets so may just be a case of removing these, routing the whole thing slightly different to create a better path & re-securing somehow.

Just thought if it had been done before it may make things easier...

Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Brett

do you have a picture?

[wlspn]

Not at the moment but will take one tomorrow & post it up.

I would assume all people with the same setup have had this problem... Maybe most just leave it as is or remove cable from brackets as I said before... As I say just think it's worth asking

ive done the conversion before, didnt have this problem? a picture would help

Here is a pic of what I am talking about. Not the best but couldn't be bothered jacking car up, etc...

Did you do conversion & speedo stuff yourself?

you can unclip it under the car and move it forward a bit, so its more of a sweeping bend, but thats how it is mate.

was that my guide? how did u find it?

Sweet, cheers mate. Will have a muck-around & get the cable to run as nice as possible.

You obviously haven't had any problems...

Yes, used your guide. Very detailed & easy to follow, excellent write-up!

Am a motor-mechanic myself but think things are explained & shown well enough that even people with very basic skills could do the job...

Yeah unfortunately with the new location of the sender, there is excess cable Mine also does big funky loops with cable ties holding it to the fuel lines.
