Speed Sensitive Steering In R32

[lwboosted]

i have an r32 with an rb25 gearbox and my speedo doesnt work... but untill i get it fixed the speed sensitive steering is pissing me off!! because there is no "speed reading" the steering is soft as then after about 30 secs the steering goes hard as a rock... does anyone know where the sensor is located for this or how it works?? i know it must be somewhere between the speedo cable and the tacho... although i may be wrong...

thanks leigh.

to be honest mate i drove around for a few weeks with no speedo and the steering was fine, then i got the speedo working and i didnt notice any change in the steering at all!

could be another prob all together?

nah defiantely not!! when the speedo works the steering is fine.. then when the speedo doesnt work it is fine for a couple of minutes of driving then goes hard...

what caused your speedo to not work??

mine stops because of the gear in the gearbox on the pinnion assembly...

i know for a fact that r32 have this "speed sensitive steering"...

[Simon-S14]

maybe mine doesnt work at all... and im used to not having it, its not that bad either way.

my speedo didnt work cause i just did the rb25 swap and hadnt sorted out the drive yet, now that i have it all works, hooked up the speed signal to the ecu as well. hasnt changed the steering tho

phatter front rims will help and also make sure you dont have uneven wear .. i.e camber wear etc

nuffing to do with hicas champ???? Dont be lazy and fix your speedo drive lol jokes

speed sensor is built into the back of the speeo itself, the cable mechanism actuated the sensor as well.

no speedo and you will have the fault.

hicas computer controls the power steering solenoid as well, don't have one the other doesn't work.

do a hicas diagnostic and see what is borked.

Had the exact same problem when my speedo cable broke on my 32. Replaced the cable, problem solved. Cables are $80 from nissan. It runs from behind the dash clustter down through the fire wall and into the gearbox. Not sure about a 32 with a 25 in it though...whether you need a 33 or 32 cable. or even if a 33 uses a cable..?

32 cable, 33 electrical.
