Hey guys,
Sorry to revive an old thread, but i am currently going down this path as well as im converting a 180sx rolling shell that i purchased to run the RB26 engine out of my GTR (its getting an upgrade) and converting the GTR 5 speed gearbox to use also. Im all good with the transfer case modifications and have the shafts apart etc, my question is around the speed sensor.
Does anyone know what speed sensor to use in the transfer case? The standard GTR one is obviously a cable driven sensor that connects to the speedo, but the 180sx dash uses the electrical type sensor. I have heard that the Z32 sensor is compatible but havent been able to track one down as yet to test it out. Im also going to be running an R32 GTS4 4.3 ratio diff so would be trying to find one with that calibration if possible. The gearbox im converting is actually from a GTS4 as well, so the speed gear should be 4.3 already if they are different.
Cheers!
