Speedo fixed :)

[Bl4cK32]

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) Made sure it aint coming off again!

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

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

Just out of interest, how many teeth does the one on the right (the browny one) have on it? It looks a lot like the one I have in my HR31 with a VL turbo box in it. My speedo is up shit creek.

Thats the std r32 gtr one straight out of the r32 gtr box. It has 21 teeth on it

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.

at least yours is only 15kmh out .. mines like 24
