Does anyone know if the rb20 gearbox (in any vehicle, manual or auto) came out with an electric speed sensor? Or if any other RB gearbox came out with an electronic speed sensor? Or if any electronic Nissan speed sensor will fit into an rb20 gearbox?

The reason I am asking is because I need my silvia speedo is electric where as the rb20 gearbox had a mechanical speed sensor in it.

ok, thanks mate. I was told that all RB20 gearboxes (which are the same as RB30E, RB25DE) only come out with a mechanical sender in the R32, where as the same gearboxes in other cars have an electrical sender and apparently you can change the senders in em........but I'll post on here if that works out!

Yeah I tried my silvia one which was out of a ca18de auto. Compared to the rb20 mechanical sender, the diameter is bigger (the silvia one that is), so it doesn't fit in. People have since told me that the R32 RB gearboxes are the only ones to come with a mechanical sender and the rest (rb30e and rb25de) have electrical sender's so they are mostprobably interchangable. And also someone told me they used a manual silvia that has HUD and that fitted straight in place.

Did you actually try to fit your silvia speed sensor in the box ? As illogical as this may sound, try it.

Gtrs have different speed sensors in between the R32 and R33s. They only differ in the diameter of the gear and looking at it you automatically assume they are not interchangable... but they are.

I got hold of a speed sensor from a RB30E and it fits onto the RB20 box but has three wires coming out of it as opposed to two wires coming out of my old silvia auto speed sensor.

The silvia auto had a black and green wire

The RB30E speed sensor has a black, red and brown wire.

Any ideas what the extra wire is for and/or where it goes?

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
