This is something that needs to be sorted out asap..
Basically the R33 5 speed gearbox has an electronic drive.
I have 2 options..
First is to wire it up to the VL electronic speedo that I have grafted into the UC dash...Head ache.
Second is to convert to a mechanical speedo drive and use the UC speedo with a custom cable. To do this I believe I need to use a VL turbo 5 speed drive unit. It's the MX7 pinion assembly part number is 32702-02G17. I called nissan and they said it would be about $50.
There's one one ebay for $180 buy it now. Either this guy is a tosser or it's the wrong part from nissan.
I'll keep searching as I need a working speedo for the engineer to do a brake test in a few weeks...

Does your engine management computer require speed input?

No, only if it's an auto set up which my car has the manual.
