ive never done it, so this could be wrong but...

on the tailshaft that runs through the back of the box to the spline that the prop slides onto, theres a small worm gear circlipped on. These can be changed, to suit the wire drive, or 'leccy pickups for the speed sensors, and I think to can swap between all the setups from s12 mk2 box thru s13 thru to s14, but does mean pulling the box apart to swap.

Thanks, might be worth a look at if I pull the motor out again, might try another speedo cable and drive and see of it changes anything. If not I will stick some markers onto the clocks to mark the correct speeds .

Not sure they are all interchangable as some of the speedo drives are longer than others. I think my box is the same as an SR (S14) box though, I couldn't find one to fit, even got Nissan pick up ones etc and nothing fitted.

I just remember speed limit speeds in certain gears are at certain rpm's, had both the rally cars like that for years now.
