The ecu knows the correct speed, but the dash displays it incorrectly on purpose. Putting larger rims and tyres on it will help a fair bit.

You can also use your gps speedo app, or buy an ecu reader that displays speed, like the Greddy touch or the HKS OBlink.

Interesting to see them get it working on an M35. Does it inferface with our CAN? (I bet it doesn't).

The speed signal can be intercepted at the TCU where it comes from the gearbox (It's about 149Hz at 20km/h if anyone's interested). After that it's transported by the CAN bus. If the VSS is changed, it could affect other things as the ECU won't know the true speed. At the very least the trip info/fuel consumption would be out, & we'd probably lose some top speed as the cut out would come in earlier (not that it's a huge deal unless at the track).

No, the speed signal is independent of the driveline, as a few of us have changed diff ratios with no change to the speedo reading. At a guess it comes from the wheel speed sensors, and the ABS computer is something I wouldn't recommend playing with.

Oops, sorry - I forgot about that. Thanks for the correction, Scotty :)

So my post should read; "The speed signal can be intercepted at the TCU where it comes from the wheel sensor/s"

But other than my gaff with where the sig comes from, it doesn't change the difficulty of rectifying the issue without interfering with other car functions (the point I was trying to emphasise). Like getting our ECUs programmed locally, I bet we won't see a suitable speedo correction solution, lol.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
