R34 GT with Neo Engine - No Speedo

Before we get into it, I have been searching the entire Internet and the R34 manual for the past week without much luck.

Now, here is the problem.

I have a R34 GT which came with a RB26 engine setup for RWD. It also came with the RB26 loom and ECU. This  Everything worked well along with the R33 gearbox. 

After building the RB26, I decided to swap the motor with a RB25det NEO engine, gearbox, loom and ECU. Yes, this is when the speedo stopped working.

I have traced the issue down to the TCS/ABS ecu as the GT (NA) ECU does not have TCS but the GTT ECU is now looking for a signal from the TCS.

 

Here is what I have tried so far...

1. Run a wire from the speed sensor in the gearbox to the cluster and ECU

2. tested for continuity between ABS computer and cluster (speed signal wire) - all ok

3. tried a second hand cluster that was working at the time

4. used self diagnostics and got the following codes  (26 - 44 - 46 ) 2 of them related to TCS/ABS

 

The golden question is How can I get my speedo to work again???

This is not true.  The speed signal starts out at the speed sensor as a +/-1 volt sawtooth (roughly AC) signal generated by the rotation of the sensor.  The 2 wires associated with this go to the cluster, where the speedo reads it and displays it.  The speedo head also converts the signal to a 0-5v square wave pulse that it puts onto the bus.  The ECU looks for that signal.  So do the other CUs that use it.  The fact that an ABS or other CU is not present should not cause it to not work.

The ECU will certainly be chucking a code if the other CUs it expects to hear from are not present.  You need to Nistune the ECU to be able to fix that.

If I had to guess, I would say that your loom transplant has done something undesirable.

      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.
