Theres a place just off the Maroondah Highway near the corner of Heatherdale road called Ringwood speedo (iirc) that does this work. Search for guages in the Yellow pages.
Or "Speedometers". There's one in Mulgrave, IIRC. They stick a "black box" converter on the cable, costs around $175.

oooh, i know about this topic, madness :O

well depends WHY your speedo is out guys, and how much ...

im unsure about how the elecrtical speedo in skylines work, but usually you either replace the gear inside the gearbox that sends the signal to one with fewer or more teeth, to get it correct.

try, automotive instrument repairs in mulgrave, just off springvale road near the 5 way junction.

I've had an old car of mine calibrated there, friendly bunch of people... There is also another mob, but they are up in the northern subs

Yeah I believe there is a trip pot adjuster inside the dash for the electrical adjustment. I think my problem is that I have a R33 gearbox though. I wonder if it can be adjusted in the dash instead of the drive gear in the box???

i doubt aps can do it in frankston. especially on a r32 as they are analogue not digital. the only way to fix it on a 32 is by changing the cogs... mine is out because of the r33 box conversion.. i need a 21tooth cog in my gear box for it to be right. i have tried so many places but they all have no idea.. i will try that place in mulgrave...

Keep us updated because I have the 33 box too and would like to know what cog is needed and where to get it from. thanks...

Hey all,

I heard this and it might be worth discussing.

There'a a Jaycar didgital pulse adjuster, which might be ble to do this. (I think it was this, it's in the 'performace electronics for cars' book)

A tuner was going to have a go and do it.

I don't know how he went, and if it cost only $175 to do it, p;robably better at the end of the day as the thing cost about 80, plus you need to build it (it's in kit form) and you need the hand controller for it as well. Then you need to tune it, which is dyno time.

Now that I've written this, I've no idea why he is going to bother...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
