New To Sau! Need Help!

[Ogun Dullak]

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?

Hey welcome to sau.

Does your car have the original speedo or an aftermarket one?

[Ogun Dullak]

Im guessing it'd have an after market one because the KM/s count is only at 60,000...

Right, then I'm not sure if the Jayar thing will work.

You're best off posting in General Automotive section or Maintenance and asking the peeps in there.

+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

(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 )

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.
