Hey guys can't find much in search...

I had my engine rebuilt for my 33gtr, and now my speedo reads exactly 1/2 kph and the revs are all sporadic? I've had someone look at it and came up with nothing. If the engine builder accidentally mixed up my gearbox with a stagea awd could the speed sender be the issue? I don't want to fork out a grand to have the same issue? Or could my cluster just be effed?

This is such a random and bizarre problem that it will be very unlikely that you will get a solution across the internet. Nevertheless, a few points deserve to be addressed.

  1. What do you mean "speedo reads exactly 1/2 kph"? Do you mean, that it reads exactly 0.5 km/h, that it reads either 1 or 2 km/h or that it reads exactly half the speed that the car s actually doing?
  2. How and why would your engine builder "accidentally mixed up my gearbox with a stagea awd"? Is there more going on here than you have said? Why would an engine builder be swapping gearboxes?
  3. What do you mean by "fork out a grand to have the same issue"? Particularly when you present it as a question, with a question mark at the end of the sentence. What are you saying?

With respect to later R33 speedo problems, there was a recent thread with a similar problem. Maybe the solution was posted. Search it up.

"could my cluster just be effed?" Maybe. But if you have problems with 2x electronic meters (ie, they both just receive pulsed signals) then.....would you not suspect a wiring plug related problem.

This is a logic problem. Arrange all the data, then apply logic.

If in doubt, take it to an auto electrician. If an auto eleccy cannot fix this in a couple of hours, I will be horrified at him calling himself an auto electrician.

I don't pretend to know much about cars, I just love em. 

Answers to the following 

1. If I'm doing 60kph it reads on the speedo 30kph

2. There was a stagea awd in the shop at the same time as mine was... I don't know if they're visibly identical and if they are are the speed senders the same? Perhaps they had them sitting next to one another and just mixed them up...shit happens. I never said it was a good engine builder. Engine lasted 300kms shit it's self and then they sold up days later...

3. I don't want to spend $1000 on a new/different cluster, only to find out I've got the same issue

Both the WGNC34 and BCNR33 have the FS5R30A as a transmission option. The Autech 260RS version is going to run the same sensor as a BCNR33. The RB25DET version does have a different speed sensor but the RPM/tach issue is unrelated. On R33s the tachometer comes from the ECU.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...

      I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"

      GReddy Injector Help!

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.
