C34 Speed Sensor

Hi guys,

I'm trying to determine what the wires off my speed sensor are. I've got a Black wire with a White stripe, and a Grey wire with a Red stripe. They both go through to the back of the speedo cluster and I'm really trying to figure out which one to tap into to get my speedo corrector working.

Also, is there anywhere to get a wiring diagram for a S1 C34 Stagea?

Cheers,

- Lance

If you have just two wires to worry about just cut one and hook it up and if that doesn't work cut the other. Can you take a pic of the back of the cluster and post it up or PM it to me?

I have a copy of the service manual but its in Japanese. I have copies of 5 pages relating to the speedo and if you PM me your address I'll post them to you (I am too tired to scan them just now).

I fitted one of those correctors to me c34 as well (inaccurate speedos bug me), I just did it behind the dash...sorry, I didn't take pics.

But on the rear of the dash it does mark which track is the speed in, which you can trace to the plug and then intercept the wire in the loom.

I've tried the process of elimination Bob, but neither seem to bring any joy.... Which seems weird. I think I'm having issues with the actual module now (even though I purchased a second one just to make sure it wasn't that)

Duncan, the plan is to mount it behind the cluster and splice it into the loom there. I don't suppose you remember if there was anything funny about setting it up initially?

well actually I do remember something funny, but didn't mention because I think it was a red herring. And it was about 10 years ago. Basically I remember I reset it multiple times and it didn't flash the way it was meant to. But because I don't remember anything about the details, and I never knew what the issue is I don't think that helps :blink:

Lance it seems to me that interrupting the circuit at the screw on the back of the speedo is still the best way. I am sure you have worked out how the spacer and tabbed washer will achieve that and you just have to work out which screw. If you look on the pic of the GTR cluster (which is quite different - especially without all the auto lights) you can see some Japanese characters next to the speedo signal and I wonder if you can see those same characters on your cluster (the photo is not clear enough for me to read).

Good to know that it's not just me having a problem setting it up, Duncan. I've emailed Jaycar in the hope that someone will know what's happening and steer me in the right direction.

I've pored over the back of that speedo, Bob, and I cannot find those same characters on the back of my speedo. I've even painstakingly traced the track from the pin, all the way through and no where does it have a screw intercepting it.

Cheers,

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Yes, it will take a fair amount of solution but the sodium citrate + citric acid + detergent is cheap stuff. Use laundry detergent instead of dish soap if you want to reduce the bubbles, also you could just buy sodium citrate and add some citric acid to the mix until you get to a weakly acidic solution if you don't feel like dealing with all the bubbling generated by adding everything together. For a fuel tank you need quite a lot of distilled water but it's probably worth the effort.

      @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 😎 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?

      Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
