last friday there was an accident on the bridge in town...in stop/start traffic for a good hour...then as i left the bridge and traffic i noticed my steering had become extremly heavy and i had no speed reading (or odometer)

I had been brainstorming with a mate and we're out of ideas...the most logical reason we could come up with is the speed sensor shat itself therefore telling the power steering that the car was travelling faster than it was...therefore making the steering harder....

but why...has anyone else had this problem know how to fix it etc...

thanks in advance

Brock

hey buddy

had the same problem as u before.. is the hicas light on?

the reason the steering wheel is hard is because the hicas system is not detecting the speedometer..

as stated above its probably cause your speedo cable has snapped.. as that was the same with mine..

u can find one cheap of the forum for probably $50 or so.

nissan sells it for way to much..

hope it helps

yeh man...but the hicas light has been on since i picked it up in feburary...but the rest fits the problem....i need the car back now...so nissan will probaly have to do...i live in Mackay in QLD...not much chance bumping into someone with one....

hey brock,

Go to jam on monday and see if they have one kicking around, they have a container filled with gearboxes and half cuts. might be able to find one. I'll come with you on monday and talk to aaron. if worst comes to worse and you have to order one. i know a car thats off the road that has an rb20 gear box in it. with a working cable. hint hint.

Big Bro

    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
    • Is there an actual website thingie for peoples who don't have Facebooks? Cheers
