Hi all, i have a r32 gtst that i have fitted a r33 style rb25det gearbox to. the r33 has a electronic speedo whereas the r32 has a mechanical drive. is there a way around this as the r33 type speedo drive is much longer than the r32 type. is there one out of another car i should be using??

has anyone else performed this conversion?

use red cog off bottom of r33 speedo drive. Get a 32 gtr speedo drive. Cut buff coloured cog off gtr drive, install red r33 cog onto gtr drive. screw in r32 speedo cable.

Done.

Ive done a post in the past, i'll try find a link.

You can actually buy them from Lincorp Automotive for $100 delivered. The part has the R33 gear for the gear box but uses the R32 speedo drive. They did, however, send me the wrong one, so i had to swap the gear off the R32 speedo drive. Pretty easy to do. Speak to Tim 02 96845777.

Stuff paying that much!

Go get a nissan navara one for $20-25 brand new. Do the exact same thing as Bl4cK32 said, just with a drive that is new, and a lot cheaper! Part number = 32702 - 02G17 pinnion assembly.

If you dont already know you will also need a new clutch slave cyl, you will need the R33 one that matches your gearbox.

Now as I have just saved you money, please forward $25 to my account :P

I am a little confused by this..

In this pic I have a R33 GTST drive at the top and a 32 GTR drive below

the thing that confuses me is that the gears are oriented differently, is this going to work if i swap the drives?

So can we clarify that the combination of drives i was going to use as in the piccy is not going to work?

They are both 20 tooth

Im interested also!!

Yes, it will work. The R32 speedo drive is on top of the output shaft and the R33 speedo drive is below the output shaft. So the teeth have to be cut for the reverse direction.

:happy: cheers :O

I am also still confused. Neo is saying the part number ending with 17 is incorrect and it needs to end in 21, hence 21 teeth as this number of teeth he says will make it accurate. But what has how many teeth on the end of it got to do with anything as isnt the idea to cut the gear off anyways?

Or have I missed something?

Looking up Nissan part numbers and specs the 32 GTR sender has 20 teeth whereas the 32 GTS4 has 21 teeth. But as I said it dont really matter does it?

Or has Neo not used the 33 cog and installed the Navara 21 tooth sender assembly complete and unmodified? I need to order a sender this week and want to make sure I get what is required. I will give this Lincorp a call as well and see what he has to say.

    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
    • Dang.....  that is some good info.  Thank you.    Yes, I plan to do some troubleshooting before I actually just throw parts at it.  I was doing some investigating on parts, just to get a head start, if wiring and stuff all looked good.
    • No worries, now that I'm closer to 70yo than not, this sort of stuff will one day be 'lost knowledge'... and even now, I wonder just how many folks out there have the Kent-Moore J34291 shim setting tool set to set end clearances rebuilding these...but right the now, there's less and less hard parts available, and you'll be headed to the wreckers to buy a donor box if it's worn out...(or pay a shop to do exactly the same thing). In a way, it's fortunate the 4-speed was so popular, because there's still heaps of consumables (banners kits, bearings & plates etc) around ~ these early 5-speeds weren't exactly that prevalent, so there's not quite as much about for them... but it's a race between perceived demand for these parts, versus how much they fetch at the shredder for recycling purposes...
    • I hope one day I can do it like you. Your engine looks great.
    • If there's nothing else I can do I'll probably do something like that Someone on the internet said that ca20s and ca18 engine blocks are the same and that you can use a ca20 engine block and put ca18det parts to make a ca20det Do you think this is possible or will it damage the engine?
