rb20det speedometer question

[jnr_chin]

if there is no speedometer cable is it true that the car will brake up earlier than normal about 5000rpm or so?

is there a way to go around that or what

[onepuff]

nope a few people dont run with a speedometer hooked up. If your having that problem it could be your coilpacks. That is a well known issue with rb's

[jnr_chin]

so the talk that there is a sensor working with the cable is not true then. aight

[Carl H]

the speed sensor is used for a speed govener as well as several other subroutines for the ecu...for the car to run properly it idealy should have a speed sensor signal, either genereated thru a speed sensor in the trans or by the speed its self (as per the r32 setup).

[jnr_chin]

cool cool

sometimes its not easy to purchase the cable. are there any other cables that can fit?

[craz4240]

Use the sensor out of whatever year 240sx 5 speed your car is and wire it up thats the only way short of swapping an r32 cluster into the car.

[jnr_chin]

aight! but for example without the speed cut i will be going past the 180 mark will the cable just burst again?

you keeping saying "speed cable" you need to use the ka24's speed sensor in the rb20 transmission. the 240's speed sensor is electronic, you don't need the speed cable. unless you are running an rb20det cluster. trust me, you won't get up to 180mph with the basic rb20det.

[Carl H]

but you can get to 180kph...

[jnr_chin]

so isnt 180kph the limit on the rb20det cluster? its easier said that done to get a 240 cluster where i am those things are rear

how would you mate the ka24 speed sensor to the rb20's transmission you would have to make a custom bracket right cuz on the ka theres a 8mm bolt on the bottom of the sensor that holds its self to the trans on the rb20's trans the sensor is just has like a srew on cap thing any one gots pics of the ka speed sensor to the rb20's trans would help alot

You don't need to make a custom bracket. Just bolt the KA speed sensor into the RB20 trans.

o duh i just check the trans right now and saw the bolt on the bottom i really hadn't look at my trans yet cuz it look like a ka tran so i just figured it was the similar till i saw the the skyline used a cable speed read out lol my bad eyes lol
