Yes there is a speedo drive available at Nissan! think it is from a navara or something! but it is correct length! People reckon speedo is still accurate! i yet to have it tested! This is from a search on here! 5) Speedo drive - The MX7 box's speedo drive will slide straight into the R33 box, and reads accurately - no recallibration required. When you compare the electric R33 sender and teh VL unit the drive gears are different sizes, but the VL's is already callibrated for the VL's speedo, the gear inside the gearbox that drives it is the same between the MX7 and R33 box. Not sure if the MF5 speedo drive is any good or not. You could still buy the MX7 speedo drives from nissan last time i checked, part number is 32702-02G17 , and they call it a "pinion assembly"

You can buy the 90degree adaptors to go on the end they are around 100.00 off ebay. I am not using the 90degree adaptor i have just ran the speedo cable on a slightly different path sort of in a "S" shape. I have had no problems doing it this way, my speedo is fine and i havent had it caught on anything. You can also buy different cogs to go onto the pin assebly but i found the one that comes on it works good. Hope it helps

thanx for your help guys, but i have a problem. The nylon gear on the r33 electric pinion assembly is bigger than the nylon gear on the cable navara pinion ass. Question is have i got the wrong pinion ass? Funny thing is everything is correct except for the gear

Funny thing is everything is correct except for the gear works fine bud. you can even buy different cogs off nissan to suit when you run 19's or jump from the original 14's to 15's my car has always been 10kays out but thats ok im use to it lol

Gee that part number looks a lot like the number in my first post! LOL I first thought that it wouldn�t fit as the gear is smaller, but guessing the gear in the box is on some sort of spring or something!? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
