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...

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
