i took out my car last night to do some tuning and to see if anything was wrong , and i found that my speedo only goes up to 35km/hr (3rd gear @6500rpm), it gave me the same reading on my avcr also, has anybody had the same issue with thier s13 ? its an s13 w/rb26dett and rb25 transmission

Do you still have the stock speedo? You either need to get it recalibrated or get the speedo from a GT-R.

If you are using the S13 cluster and it is wired correctly, you can pick one of these solutions:

1: modify your speedo (search for speedo and you should find more topics than you care to read on converting it)

2: buy the lsauto gauge that is already converted for you. (this what I did)

If you are using the RB26 cluster, it may just be that the sending unit that is in the RB26 transmission has more/less teeth than the 25 transmission, thus sending a different signal to your gauge. If that is the case then you will have to recalibrate your gauge, which unfortunately I have never seen anyone discuss on here for the 26 cluster, or switch back to the S13 cluster and follow my above info.

Not much of an answer, but hopefully it helps.
