Navara Speedo Conversion For R32 With R33 Box.

I have an R32 GTST with RB25DET & R33 gearbox.

Just tonight (in the dark) I fitted my modified Navara/VL speedo drive as per the DIY guide.

However to then get my speedo cable screwed onto the end of it, I had to really bend the cable around more than I would have liked. It is now hooked up fine but the cable is doing a quite sharp 180-degree turn then a sharp 90...

Wondering what other people with the same setup have done in regards to this?

If there is no straight-forward solution or if people are just leaving it like this I will work something out myself when I have more time ( & light...)

At the moment the cable is still held by the standard brackets so may just be a case of removing these, routing the whole thing slightly different to create a better path & re-securing somehow.

Just thought if it had been done before it may make things easier...

Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Brett

Not at the moment but will take one tomorrow & post it up.

I would assume all people with the same setup have had this problem... Maybe most just leave it as is or remove cable from brackets as I said before... As I say just think it's worth asking

you can unclip it under the car and move it forward a bit, so its more of a sweeping bend, but thats how it is mate.

was that my guide? how did u find it?

Sweet, cheers mate. Will have a muck-around & get the cable to run as nice as possible.

You obviously haven't had any problems...

Yes, used your guide. Very detailed & easy to follow, excellent write-up!

Am a motor-mechanic myself but think things are explained & shown well enough that even people with very basic skills could do the job...

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.

      Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.

      People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion

      Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?

      It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
