So, I know this is not the correct place since it's a Q45, but it's close enough to an S-chassis and I figured the information should be out there somewhere so when people search they can find this thread.
So a while back I did a manual swap using Collins Adapter plate and a Z34 6 speed transmission in my Y33 Q45. Since then the speedometer/odo stopped working (speed sensor in the trans very similar to S13/14). After doing research I found a couple of people that had used a dakota digital converter SGI-5E but they didn't go very into depth because for them it "just worked", it wasn't quite as simple for me, which is why I wanted to post in here.

I have access to the FSM so I started there:

So from the back of the meter (cluster) cut the Brown/white wire [pin 12] and run the wire from the back of the meter to the OUT3 in the SGI-5E

I then took apart the right side of the vehicle to get to the ABS/TCS control unit

The reason I went straight there is because that's where all other items I needed would come out of.
