Has anyone ever used an electronic speedo adjuster like this to correct speedo reading?

My stag is reading about 15% over actual speed which is dangerous for my license.

Good article that one! lol

Duncan I've linked them all together, but one of the links will point you to: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/111435-speedo-c...ed-r33-gtr.html . The original uses a jaycar adjuster.

Also feel free to try the other method ;)

excellent, thanks for the detail.

Do you have any way to see the ECU speed after you modified the dash, eg PFC? I have a digital dash that runs of the ECU, so it's not really the dash I want to modify (unless of course the gearbox signal goes to the dash then the ECU, that is how the mechanical r32 one works but I kind of assumed the electric ones go to the ECU then the speedo

Electric one goes straight to speedo. Checked wiring diagrams.

A speed sensor wire goes from speedo to ecu for things such as speed cut, and idle up a little (100-200RPM) when not at a stop etc.

One of the threads I was reading, either the UK article or the SkylinesDownunder (all linked off the articles I have) was using some kind of device to test it on a bench, but I believe that was just testing what the speedo would show...

Yes, I did compare to the PowerFC hand controller, the PowerFC was closer afterwards, but this modification I mentioned was for changing the dash. Sorry :D

thanks sean :)

and yeah that's what I figured....I need it to correct the PFC and more importantly the super-rice nismo dash/epson EJ1.

I bought and have built the kit, will try and fit it this week.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
