the speedometer worked the first time we drove the van and it never worked again , after i looked i found the problem was the sending unit itself so anyone know where i could get one of these, well i just need the plastic gear on the end

yea i should have said its from the RB25DET :oops: all my searching and i think only this RB box uses this gear . i have four (4) other speed sending units home two RB20 (automatic) and one YD25 and one ZD30 and all are different to this one :roll:

no ... but it would have been nice to keep all original gauges for a clean look but everything else works on the original cluster oil light ,charge light,temp gauge,fuel gauge, except the speedometer :roll:

well my brother in law is the full owner of the frontier now ( i cant afford to keep three vehicles) . but i still do the work on it and still get to drive it :) so updates will continue .

bought some goodies a HKS type 1 turbo timer and a new bosch fuel filter just like these from HYPER V RACING good guy .. and i must say the fuel filter made a huge difference from the cheap sakura (or however you spell it ) have not installed the timer yet

well its been a LONG time but the frontier is now lowered ,not by much but it has transformed the ride ,handling and looks too..

i re indexed the torsion bars along with new upper control arm bushings and overhauled the rear brakes with new cylinders and shoes ( the old pistons were rusted in the cylinders so no rear brakes :shock: )

you probably cant see the difference in the pics but its at least 1 1/2 " lower all around and looks soo much better
