Hey, I recently bought a Skyline R33 S1, one problem. The speedo reads DOUBLE my actual speed, so when I'm travelling at 40km/h, it shows 80km/h on the speedometer. I've got a Jaycar speedo corrector kit but don't know how to install it, any help?

+100% i.e. double the actuals. That's way out there.

I'd be looking at the Speed Sensor.

I would think the correctors would be good if your rim and tyre size was greater/smaller and there was like 5%-20% but your talking 100%.

Does the 33 have 2 different model clusters like the 32's? If they do that could also be throwing it way out.

So after a bit of research there seems to be a Series 1 and Series 2 Speed Sensor/drive. Both fit :blink:

(There also appears to be Auto and a Manual obviously)

Suggest your cluster maybe out of a series 2 (besides being wound back 200k KM's :O )

Hopefully ^ this info helps

Thanks for the info and help guys! Looks like I'll be spending a couple of hundred dollars to fix this problem! Took it down to an auto electrician in Maryong and got quoted $380..

Seriously, before you spend any money, ask the lads in the Maintenance or General section, theres not many problems they haven't seen before.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
