On the cluster, do not touch the wiring on 30 or 31. They are the output from the cluster to everything else in the car that wants to know vehicle speed.

Connect Jaycar input black wire to the wire coming up from the gearbox to the cluster, which is 19 on the cluster. You need to cut the wire to 19.

Connect the Jaycar red output wire to cluster 19.

Thus, the Jaycar unit is interposed in the line from gearbox speed sensor to the cluster, and adjusts that signal.

Yep, ok got it now! Took me a while 😵‍💫

DO NOT USE THE JAYCAR MODULE.
IT IS SHIT, UPDATES SLOW AND IS SHIT. I HAVE USED IT. I HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE.

BUY THE DAKOTA DIGITAL ITEM LINKED BELOW INSTEAD.

https://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=1192/mode=prod/prd1192.htm

IT CAN BE FOUND IN PLACES. DO NOT BUY THE JAYCAR ITEM. IF YOU DO, YOU WILL RETURN TO THIS POST AND BUY THE DAKOTA ITEM ANYWAY. THE JAYCAR ITEM IS CHEAP BECAUSE IT IS SHIT.

Is there a better way to do this? If people have figured out how to modify the odometer on the cluster module surely it must also be possible to figure out how to recalibrate how it correlates output shaft speed on the transmission to speed/distance.

I've been told that the R33 GTR speedo sensor will fit into the Getrag, but you just need to modify the adaptor plug to suit the 34. But in saying this, i've also been told the speedo is still out by 3-5%

I was thinking more about modifying the ROM or circuitry on the gauge cluster instead. 

I'd forgotten that Greg had had a bad time with the Jaycar box - I just presumed that it worked.

Yes. The answer would be a fairly simple Arduino project. Just need some math to read the frequency of the incoming and generate a new sawtooth wave with the adjusted frequency. Probably wouldn't even have to be that clever to get it done. I imagine that there's lots of example code you could steal, and it wouldn't matter how cludgy or inefficient it was.

Speedo is now operational. Correct wiring is #19 input and ground out the other wire. I put the ground on the crash bar vertical support to the right of the stereo.

Appreciate the help gtsboy! 

How exactly did you do this? I have a r34 25gt converted to manual. Auto speedometer was working fine. Swapped for a Nismo GTT meter and now speed gauge won’t read. Would you happen to know how I can get the speed gauge to work?

The mtx/atx pinouts are different for the connector to the cluster. Also your automatic car has a sensor at the diff to read speed while the manual cluster uses the speed sensor on the manual transmission. I bought the mtx speed sensor connector, plugged in it and ran the wires into the car, grounded one out on the crash bar [any ground is good] and the other I put in pinout # 19. It should now work.

 

Edit: you can find the pinout numbers in the R34 workshop manual on page EL19. If you don't have it, shoot me your email and Ill send the manual to you.

Thank you soo much!! I did forget to mention that the car was converted to manual before I purchased it. So I’ll take a look at the diff for that extra sensor just in case. Ahhh I see now.  I’ve looked at the manual and found pin 19!  So to be 100% clear, I wire directly to pin 19 and not just tap into the existing wire?

Its been 3 years since I did it, cant remember if there was a wire there or not. If there is, snip it from the current harness and run new wire from transmission speed sensor connector to it. Good luck.

Thank you!!! I’ll keep you updated on the results! 🙏🏼

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
