hey guys i have just fitted and installed an mx7 gearbox but when i tried to screw the speedo cable into the adapter it was a different pin on the adapter compared to the speedo....so i took the adapter off and the speedo cable screwed straight on but now for some reason even tho everthing is connected my speedo isnt working.... does anyone know why i was able to get the speedo cable on without the adapter...???/or why it was a different pin cheers Anthony come on guys need your help with this one.....

im having the azact same problem. starting to realy annoy me

lol how bad does it piss ya off lol i am pretty sure there is a difference in the cables between n/a and then turbo or calais or something...lol mine ended up fitting without using the adapter and didnt even bash the tunnel or anything wierd? or is this normal....anyone else had any exdperience of being able to use mx7 box without the adapter.... cheers Anthony

Mate when your driving along stick your head under the car and check if that socket were the speedo cable pin slides in is spinning. lol nar they are different not sure how but you need the 90deg speedo adaptor i have one for sale after $50 for it. and for ya info the speedo cables are the same.

just did the conversion in my car and the speedo cables from mf5 to mx7 were different Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Is there much space between the cable and the channel?

its tight but not overly....just enuf space to get it in pretty much

where can i find a mx7 speedo drive. i went to nissan yesty to pick up the navara one and too much needs to be modified on it to make it fit in, you have to change the gear over etc

i did the same, is there just a strait bolt up on?

The part number is 32702-02G17 and the MX7 shifter bush part numer is 32861-01G00 The speedo drive is $41 and the bush is $9 (as quoted by 86SLVLT in another thread)

i've just recently done an mx7 conversion and found most parts aren't hard to find nissan sell most things, the spigot drive is from a d21 navara and direct bolt on, the clutch ball pin is still available at nissan since mx7 and mf5 are different, yoke from hardy spicer, fly wheel and pressure plate bolts from nissan or arp, and just scrap the right angle drive Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
