hi guys i purchased a nismo 320 kph speedo for my 32 gtr and went to install it and it will fit but the warning lights are in different spots so i wasnt sure if it would work so i went to remove the speedo itself and install in my cluster, It is quite different and wont fit as it has an electrical ribbon connection that my one doesnt have, I have been trying to search on the subject but cant find the answer, if I just plug the new one in will it work or will there be issues?

Either find that guide as BWRGTR has said, or you can move the cables in the connectors on the harness. I worked it out a couple of years ago and wrote it down, but won't be home for over a week and a bit.

You can work out which pins need to be moved where just by working off the rear of each unit.. Just remember the speed signal out is polarity conscious.

Why can't he just remove the speedos from the two clusters and swap them? As r32 speedos are cable driven and not electric like the 33 onwards

the design between the two clusters (early vs old) is different, so once the speedo is out of one, its not a direct fit into the other unless the speedo sensors is swapped.. also possible to re-pin the connectors at the back which i have done in the past but the swap saves messing around with all the pinouts

the problem was you got a late model 32 cluster for an early model 32. they are different between years. and you can't just swap the speedo's between them as in is the 320kph and one is the 180kph so it won't work obviously.

    • This is a real nostalgia trip for me, I mean SK Bilsteins? I ran those lol Good times.  Good work Duncan, it's not an easy job in many respects. I'm sure the family appreciates it. 
    • It's not a dumb question. I was circling this idea myself. User error is always possible!
    • Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.
    • Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.
    • It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
