As above, where do Skylines get the speed signal for the ECU from?

Cant be gearbox (not on 32s anyway) as 32s have a speedo cable & yet the ECU still gets a signal...

I have a digital speed readout on my turbo timer (which is mounted just above cluster) & it's not working.

Recently installed an RB25DET & had the original ECU from that installed, didn't work.

Now have a Haltech, doesn't work.

Car has been off the road that long I can't remember if it stopped working while the RB20 was in or just since I've swapped engine & box.

99% sure it had stopped working even with the 20.

Problem is I fitted the R33 box with the engine & haven't sorted the cable yet so have no speedo at all.

Would be nice to have some idea how fast I'm going!

Also caused a few problems with ECU where things want to be speed activated, such as VCT, etc (can get around it but still...)

Would be really handy if someone could help me out so I can fix everything.

Cheers,

Brett

Ok trying to remember off the top of my head it goes like this:

R33 - electronic speed signal from gearbox to dash - then electronic singal goes to ECU - then electronic signal goes to HICAS ECU

R32 - cable speed signal from gearbox to dash - then electronic signal goes to ECU - then electronic signal goes to HICAS ECU

So really they are the same other than the initial signal from the gearbox itself.

So you're saying that if cluster doesn.t work, neither will digital speedo?

Was pretty sure at least one of the times I stripped the gear off the speedo cable (cluster end) the dash speedo didn't work but the digital speedo did... Could be wrong but. If you're right I definitely am.

my mate put a 25 into his ceffy and had issues with the speedo. he wired the wires straight to the ecu and then the first time he went for a drive he was hitting the speed cut in ist gear. seemed to be that when it is wired through the dash it drops the voltage, so without it the ecu thought he was going much faster than he was. i think he ended up just cutting the wires to the ecu. he was using a rev speed meter for the speedo.

    • Oh bugger ! Your right ! Good old hydrogen sulfide. Takes me back to the good old school days ! 
    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless   
    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1
