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.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
