Hi sau, i've run into a problem with the speedometer not moving and have pin pointed it out to be an implanted r32 manual box in an r34 manual.

The mechanic i brought the car into told me that the speed sensor plug could not be found on my transmission as it was a r32 box.

Now the question im asking is to fix the speedometer is there any other cost effective ways to convert the r32 box to the r34 electrical unit?

Or is the only way to find an r34 manual box with pull type clutch and also find another pull type clutch as the r32 clutch is push.

I've tried using gps apps and gps units to get an active speed but no success. I've sourced the parts out but not sure exactly what i'll need if im going to

buy an r34 manual box with the clutchs and tailshaft?

Thanks in advance :wacko:

The mechanic said it was an r32 box, that's why there was no speed sensor plug hole.

I'm not really sure about the transmission, not my area of expertise but the mech said the r34 had gone through a pull to push conversion.

Is there any benefits of the push compared to a pull? My main concern is the speedometer and getting a speed indication.

I've also called up a transmission place from the forum contacts and the guy said there was a possibility of converting the r32 box into electrical.. Again i'm in need of some opinions.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks for replying Simon, can you elaborate some more about the silvia speedo sender?

r32 box, trying to get the speed into the cluster.

As the 3rd owner of the car, im not sure myself about why theres a 32 box in it.

I'll decide how to go about it after i bring it into the mech again.

32 box normally uses cable... sender bolts to the box and then cable to sender. the sender can be swapped out for a silvia (s13/s14) unit and then wired to the skyline gearbox loom. R34 has electronic speedo sender so the wiring should be there still.

i think you should get some pics of your gearbox and how its all mounted and then post them up so we can give you the real story... its possible your mechanic doesnt know

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
