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

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
