stony Posted March 17, 2001 Share Posted March 17, 2001 As some of you know im running the rb-26 dett with the skyline GTS-T r-33 5 spd mission. the sending unit on this mission is electrical. and obviously the z speedo is not. how can i tell if i can use the Autometer electrical speedo with this sending unit? or am i stuck something like a GPS type speedo? ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy 77zt Posted March 17, 2001 Share Posted March 17, 2001 most of the aftermarkit electronic speedos have a calibrate mode where you push a button at the start of a measured mile and you push button again at end of mile-then it locks the pulse count in-it should work fine.

Guest Speaker Posted March 17, 2001 Share Posted March 17, 2001 hey wouldn't that be kinda inaccurate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted March 18, 2001 Share Posted March 18, 2001 Speaker - which wouldn't be accurate? The GPS stuff - at least my handheld - seems to be damned accurate. Was shocked to see how close it read to our Impalla's speedo. As for the push the button thing - it can be as inaccurate as you make it If you've really got to have it accurate I guess you could jack the rear up and spin th etires by hand counting revs. I seem to recall that the speedo prefers you to drive at least 25mph to calibrate.... I know - use a GPS to "test" a pair of mile markers, come back around and pace them off Does it really have to be that accurate anyway? I seldom drive at the speedlimit.

stony Posted March 22, 2001 Author Share Posted March 22, 2001 tell me if this sounds right ... there is 2 wires from speedo and 2 from teh sending unit.... (excluding all teh lights and power hookups...) i would ground one from teh sending unit and the one from the speedo and thats how they hookup?
