I have a r33 box in my r32 which i installed at the same time as my new engine....both new engine and box. Driving car home from workshop i noticed speedo wasnt working, and pfc wasnt giving a speed reading...ie 00km/hr

Checked the cable at the back of the speedo cluster - wasnt snapped like most people have in the 32's. Unscrewed it from the box and u could spin cable from the bottom and see it move at the top.

Now this only left the speed sensor in the box. It has the r33 end on the r32 gtr top part to convert it from electric back to cable drive.

In the pics in the bottom...the first pic shows the modified speedo drive (left) next to the std r32 gtr drive on the right. the second pic shows a close up of how the gear was sitting on the end of the shaft when i pulled it out of the box....the third pic shows how its supposed to be? (well i reinstalled it like in pic 3 and speedo works now) :P Made sure it aint coming off again!

the 4th photo shows the fixed r33 modified unit compared to the std r32 gtr unit. :P

I hope this helps someone else in future......

Bingo, mine has 21 teeth as we'll, and by looking at your picture I think mine is an R32 GTR one as we'll.

Sorry to hijak and go a bit of topic here, but does anyone know any nissan speedo drive's that have more then 21 teeth on it?

I'v been doing a bit of reading up on it, and supposedly each tooth is meant to decrease the speedo by 4%, so if you measure the amount of inaccuracy you can judge whats suitable for you. If I cruise at 100kmh, my speedo reads about 115kmh, so I'd take this as an 15% degree of an inaccuracy? So I might need something with about 25 teeth on it. :P

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
