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.

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"...

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..?

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
