Busa speedo sensor

The sensor seems to be a magnet and what it appeared to sense a metal disc with four splines on it. So...

What have others done? Looking for mounting inspiration and tech details!

Cheers





If its broke, fix it. If it aint broke, take it apart and find out how it works!

Skip the disc, make a bracket to mount the sensor close (i.e. very close) to the 4 bolt heads that will connect your prpshaft to the prop adaptor flange. Worked for me anyway...

So I guess it dosent matter that the four bolts are not set equally?

no but the number of bolts matters - in your case this matches the slots in the disc.

K guys, thanks for that.

One last question. That area of the car, (ie the prop flange adapter), is pretty crowded so I am thinking of moving the speed sensor down the tunnel and mount it somewhere around the center bearing. If I do this then obviously those aforementioned bolts aint gonna be around so what can I substitute them with? Am thinking of gluing four small neodymium magnets to the prop. Would this work or should I use something non magnetic?

They don't need to be magnetic, they just need to be able to attract magnets, so iron will do. I had the same space issue at the front so I placed mine on the driveshafts (added advantage that you'll have less revolutions so less probability to imbalance). Just welded some pieces of iron to the boltholders. It's a GSXR1000, same system as GSXR13000. Work fine
