Does anyone know if there is a difference between the N/A and turbo speed sensors for a z32 300zx? I know there is a gearing difference and hence different pinion gears, but I am talking about the sensor itself.

The N/A sensor sells for $110 and the turbo sensor for $155. I've been searching for a while and can't seem to find any differences in the sensor itself.

Thanks.

Call the dealer and see if the part numbers are the same, if they are then the part will fit both cars.

Yes there is a difference between turbo and n/a as well as manual and auto. Cheapest place I found to replace the unit was auto zone was 78 bucks for mine.

I saw the differences between the auto and manual. I should make it clear that I am not connecting the speed sensor to a Z32 cluster. I have a Z32 5-speed in my 240z. I was running a mechanical speedo but have since upgraded to Speedhut's Revolution gauges.

The speedo is electric and I can set it, thus gear ratios or VSS pulse differences do not matter.
