Hey people, just finished my conversion and am starting to work out the little bugs and also make it look standard for engineer blue slip etc.

Any idea on how to get the tacho to work with the RB20 (previous motor L20ET)?

And my speedo isn't reading correctly plus it seems to have developed a wobble, any ideas?

what gear box did you use?? the speed sensor is in that and if you used the matching box for the rb20 then it should already get the speed signal to the ECU?

the was also a work shop in SA Jaustech that did this conversion years ago they might have the info you are after.

Used the RB20 gearbox, not sure if the ECU is getting speed or not, any idea on how to get the tacho going?

there would be a resistor required to get the signal, i ended up getting a monster tacho in the end.

have a look in the r31skyline forum in a few days (website down for a few days at the moment) as they have info on getting the tacho working with rb20/25 conversions

i sent my wiring off to castlemain auto elecs, i think its near rod hadfield, or maybe the same mob. they will make any wiring loom into a universal one so you can easily wire it into your car. i found them real good and helpful, they are a bit

expensive but they do good work.

Did you get the standard tacho to work though?

yep! without any hassle. Just wired in the one wire to the tacho.

What they do is modify the loom off the new motor to suit your car.

They give you wiring diagrams and everything.

You wouldn't still have the wiring diagram would you?

I'll give you a few bucks for a copy.

    • Just install a grease nipple into the centre of the outer steel of the FUCA. Make sure the bushes aren't long enough to touch each other underneath that nipple. Cut a few mm off each if need be. Then you can push grease in there while it is all assembled. That was the very first thing I did (to all 4 ends) of the FUCAs on my 32 when I put Whiteline adjustable bushes into them. They would squeeze the grease out real fast, and I could squeeze it back in faster.
    • @GTSBoy I found the issue (sort of) when I took apart the bushing again, it was completely dry inside! When I experimented with it, all the grease would push out when I would compress the bushings. I wonder if this has anything to do with me putting in the poly bush first on both sides and then pushing in the metal barrel. Maybe I should have put in the metal barrel first then the rubber bushings so the spread pattern is different.   It's fixed (for now).
    • Just redid that entire job. 4 hours, but tightened everything properly. Had to jack the rotor instead of having the car on blocks as there was no room for the FUCA arms to tighten and the j arm. All good now. Cheers for the help!
    • I would sell those side feeds before you hydra-lock a motor. I won't say too much about Yellow Jackets because I'll hurt people's feelings, however ask those that tune RBs day in/out what they think of them.
    • The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄
