Hi Guys,

Just completed my diff ratio swoop in the gtr from 4.11 to 4.375(gts4) and i was wounder if anyone knew how to alter the speedometer to read correctly. As i believe it should be out now yes? Any help would be much appreciated.

It will be out, but changing the speedo drive pinion at the gearbox will fix that. Someone might have a secondhand one from a GTS4 gearbox, but the part number for a new one from Nissan is:

32703-05U21

Look up the businesses under "speedometers" in the Yellow Pages. Apparently they can re-calibrate the speedo with a "black-box" converter / adjuster.

Steve, what's the P/N for the Stagea's drive pinion?

no need to recalibrate if you change the speedo pinion.

here is the R32 GTR one:

here is the R32 GTS4 one:

the difference is 20 notches on the GTR one and 21 on the GTS4 one, it should swap straight in. The difference in speed you'll see on the speedo is roughly 0.3%.

The part number of the GTR pinion is 32703-05U20. THe GTS4 one is 32703-05U21. Just ring up nissan and grab it from them, it should be about $50.

The difference is more like 5% (21 is 1 more than 20, ie 20 + 1/20 * 20, and 1/20 = 5%). Fortunately, the speedo will now read higher than reality, so far less likely to get photographed.

The error in mine, having gone from a GTS4 to a Stagea (4.083) diff, is roughly 7%. But mine reads under the real speed - caution, Will Robinson!

Are you sure the one on picture 2 is a GTR one, cause when i ordered a GTR pinion drive i got a RED gear, and the teeth are angled back the opposite way to my GTS4 gear. I tried to fit the RED GTR gear it in my GTS4 box but it wouldnt go in.

Are there 2 different GTR gears?

Hmmm, interesting.....according to FAST the gear in the ATESSA housing that drives the pinion shown in those photo's has the same part number for both GTR and GTS4 - it is identical in each case, so the pinion gear teeth form should also be the same.

Speedo Pionion assembly for the Stagea is:

32702-5P519 for the Aug 1998 and newer (auto and manual)

32743-0V120 for Sept 1996 to Aug 1997 (auto only)

32743-0V120 for Aug 1997 to Aug 1998 (auto only)... slightly different transfer assembly, but pinion is the same.

Dont know why the one i have has the teeth angled the opposite way, i have a VLturbo(MX7) drive gear hear also the teeth are angled the same way as the RED GTR gear i have....

The RED spedo gear i have works fine in my R33 turbo box, but wont go in the GTS4 box.

Will try and get some pics up.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
