hey peeps got my self in a bit of a situation....ok here it goes i have an r32 gtst skyline (rb20det). iv'e just installed an s15 complete dash and interior trim but after all that realised the s15 cluster is digital where as my r32 cluster is mechanical as is the speedo cable. does anybody have any idea on how i can convert the mechanical readout to a digital signal?? i read a previous failed attempt with a VL RB30E sensor but it wasn't compatible apparently as it had 3(ignition,ground,and readout) wires instead of 2(ground and readout) which i was told is on the sr20 sensor. if anyone has done this conversion before or has any ideas please help.

thanks heaps for your time peeps

I would be trying to find a good auto electrician, search long enough you will find someone who would find this sort of work right up there alley. Its not rocket science bro.

i asked around with sparkies and one quoted me 1000 to do it so i looked for other ways alil gentler on the pocket and i think iv found a possible solution - i dismantled both clusters and am gonna try swapping over the speedo and tacho and change the facings so all matches it'll require abit of custom fibreglassing for were the speedo connects to the speedo cable but hopefully nothing i shouldnt be able to handle. ill keep you upto date.

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
