Does anyone know the diffrence between a 300zx and Rb25 Speedo sensor ?

I recently did a manual conversion to my r34 gtt sedan using a Rb25det box from an r33. It didn't come with a Speedo sensor.

I couldn't seem to find anyone selling a 25 Speedo sensor but found a cheap 300zx sensor and read about Them being basicly the same box....so long story short, my Speedo on the cluster reads twice the actual speed. So if I'm doing around 40, cluster reads 80....

Searched every where can't find anything, would just like to know if there is any other options I have before buying a sensor from Nissan.

Well the other option is buying a sensor from a wrecker or a member selling parts. Your real problem is which sensor. The sensors in the R33 range differ in the number of teeth on the drive. There is no guarantee that an R33 sensor will read correctly on your R34 cluster. Unless someone can tell you for sure you should try to borrow one to see if it works. What happened to your original sensor?

Original sensor was auto, went with the box. I'm pretty sure the current pinion on 300zx is a red 20 tooth (need to check to comfirm). If I were to change the pinion on the sensor would I need more teeth or less?

I've called most of the import wreckers in Brisbane, none of them seperate sensor from box.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
