vp the speedo comes up through the floor to the dash then from dash to ecu .vr goes to ecu and tees off to dash .the plug to the ecu loom from the body loom under the dash may need rewired to suit then the speedo will be fine but the ecu is going to spit the dummy at geting the wrong pulses i bet you hit the speed cut early as

i havent done any of those things as yet i have removed the trans loom thinking id be able to splice them together but not so much. i know of a few ppl on this forum who have done the same thing but they didnt really explain clearly or that well (pics are a big massive help). apparently theres a couple wires i have to run from the trans loom in the floor to the ecu but buggered if i know which ones or to where on the ecu

ill try again i have a vp calais. ive taken the original body loom out and replaced it with a vr calais one. everything works fine except i have no speedo. im still running the original vp ecu engine loom and auto trans. what wires do i connect the speedo sensor to in the vr loom? does that make any more sense than before?

ok is that a blue with white trace or vice versa? and which colours come from the trans to this area? i know theres 3 from the speed sensor: Theres a Black with white stripe
Purple with white stripe and a Pink with blue stripe. where do these go on the vr loom/vp ecu so i can have a speedo again?

somewhere on the first page should be a link to a site called robs creations which has wiring diagrams for all the models in question. these should help you figure out what wires are needed where

here it is http://www.memcals.com/rcc_info_wiring.html
