Ages ago i did the manual conversion on my R34 using R33 parts.

The speedo sensor plug was different, i purchased a R34 Speedo Sensor recently to replace this but it appears the plugs been damaged so i dont know which way it goes, if i put the two wires the wrong way around is the signal going to damage anything?

Goes in for a tune soon and needs the speed signal, if i cant get it working prior i'll just get the workshop to do it, but would rather do it myself instead of paying them.

Cheer's!

No the signal will not damage anything. Both wires should output a pulse from the sender but one goes to ground on the loom end.

I'm fairly sure you can put the wires either way around and it will work but if you put a deutch plug there you can just swap them if it doesn't.

Thread bump.

Where is the speedo sender on a S2 R33 GTS-t?

I am having issues with an intermittent speedo that wasn't fixed with a cluster change so I am guessing there might be an issue with the sender or plug.

Drivers side of the gearbox right near the crossmember

Has anyone had a faulty sender causing intermittent speedo issues?

I cleaned the plug with contact cleaner and had a quick look and couldn't see anything obvious. I don't think it is likely that both speedos are faulty so it seems the issue is between the sender and the dash or the sender itself.

The sender produces its own signal so you can test it at every point in the loom. We usually trace it back to the section of the harness just beneath the fuse box and break it open there. Splice in with our scope and test the signal. If the signal is good, the dash is going to be the problem or the wire under the dash behind the cluster.

9/10 times it's the cluster though. The heat f**ks them up. Borrow a mates, swap it out and see if it fixes your problem

I bought another cluster from another SAU member and the speedo has the same issue.

The advice from Andy at ASR is that he has only ever seen cluster issues, never a sender. When the car gets run for >30 mins usually it comes good so it is temperature dependent.

I guess I will have to get someone to trace the wiring to where the fault is.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
