Hey guys can't find much in search...

I had my engine rebuilt for my 33gtr, and now my speedo reads exactly 1/2 kph and the revs are all sporadic? I've had someone look at it and came up with nothing. If the engine builder accidentally mixed up my gearbox with a stagea awd could the speed sender be the issue? I don't want to fork out a grand to have the same issue? Or could my cluster just be effed?

This is such a random and bizarre problem that it will be very unlikely that you will get a solution across the internet. Nevertheless, a few points deserve to be addressed.

  1. What do you mean "speedo reads exactly 1/2 kph"? Do you mean, that it reads exactly 0.5 km/h, that it reads either 1 or 2 km/h or that it reads exactly half the speed that the car s actually doing?
  2. How and why would your engine builder "accidentally mixed up my gearbox with a stagea awd"? Is there more going on here than you have said? Why would an engine builder be swapping gearboxes?
  3. What do you mean by "fork out a grand to have the same issue"? Particularly when you present it as a question, with a question mark at the end of the sentence. What are you saying?

With respect to later R33 speedo problems, there was a recent thread with a similar problem. Maybe the solution was posted. Search it up.

"could my cluster just be effed?" Maybe. But if you have problems with 2x electronic meters (ie, they both just receive pulsed signals) then.....would you not suspect a wiring plug related problem.

This is a logic problem. Arrange all the data, then apply logic.

If in doubt, take it to an auto electrician. If an auto eleccy cannot fix this in a couple of hours, I will be horrified at him calling himself an auto electrician.

I don't pretend to know much about cars, I just love em. 

Answers to the following 

1. If I'm doing 60kph it reads on the speedo 30kph

2. There was a stagea awd in the shop at the same time as mine was... I don't know if they're visibly identical and if they are are the speed senders the same? Perhaps they had them sitting next to one another and just mixed them up...shit happens. I never said it was a good engine builder. Engine lasted 300kms shit it's self and then they sold up days later...

3. I don't want to spend $1000 on a new/different cluster, only to find out I've got the same issue

Both the WGNC34 and BCNR33 have the FS5R30A as a transmission option. The Autech 260RS version is going to run the same sensor as a BCNR33. The RB25DET version does have a different speed sensor but the RPM/tach issue is unrelated. On R33s the tachometer comes from the ECU.

    • Ironically the GTT was quite reliable in the 7 years of ownership. From memory I've only had to replace a radiator and coilpacks out of inconvenience 
    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
