Does anyone know the diffrence between a 300zx and Rb25 Speedo sensor ?

I recently did a manual conversion to my r34 gtt sedan using a Rb25det box from an r33. It didn't come with a Speedo sensor.

I couldn't seem to find anyone selling a 25 Speedo sensor but found a cheap 300zx sensor and read about Them being basicly the same box....so long story short, my Speedo on the cluster reads twice the actual speed. So if I'm doing around 40, cluster reads 80....

Searched every where can't find anything, would just like to know if there is any other options I have before buying a sensor from Nissan.

Well the other option is buying a sensor from a wrecker or a member selling parts. Your real problem is which sensor. The sensors in the R33 range differ in the number of teeth on the drive. There is no guarantee that an R33 sensor will read correctly on your R34 cluster. Unless someone can tell you for sure you should try to borrow one to see if it works. What happened to your original sensor?

Original sensor was auto, went with the box. I'm pretty sure the current pinion on 300zx is a red 20 tooth (need to check to comfirm). If I were to change the pinion on the sensor would I need more teeth or less?

I've called most of the import wreckers in Brisbane, none of them seperate sensor from box.

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
