R33 Speedo And Power Steering Problem

[Ice_Mage]

Hey need some help today my speedo just decided to stop working and then the power steering stops working about 5 min into driving, i think the speedo has something to do with the power steering not working (not adjusting pump to speed). my question is how does the speedo work is it an electronic sender or is there a cable and if so where is it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanx

sounds lik it could be ur speedo gear aswel..

usually it in the side or top of ur g/box..then the cable runs to the back of the cluster unit..

but dont no if 33 electronic ones or cable ones..neva had to pull mine out..sorry

as for ur power steering issues...hav no idea..has the belt snap?lol

had to ask..

no speed reading will mean no power steering.

33's are electronic, you can pull the speed sender out of the back of the gearbox and check the gears, just hope its the gears as thats easier to fix then an electrical problem.

Hey guys i have recently had the same problem in my r32. Thought i would search first and found this thread.

My speedo stopped working first, then 30mins later steering went heavy. Power fc isnt getting reading either. Guess thats cos it reads it from the speedo cable which leads me to think that the cables the problem. Also i have an rb25det gearbox. Do the r33's have a sensor in the gearbox that converts in to electrical signal or is it a cable to the dash like r32 because my rb25 gearbox has a cable coming from it to the dash.

Also i spun the gear in the back of the dash with my fingers and the power fc picked up 20km/h but the stock speedo guage didnt so would this mean that the cable is snapped somewhere or that there is a problem with the gearing inside my dash cluster??

Power steering is now intermittant too. 1 min its working fine then the next, it goes heavy.

Hope that all makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

do a search for r32 speedo cable, there a plenty of both how to change and quick fixes for the 32 cable speedo

33 is electronic, but there has been a few threads on how they are converted over with navara cogs etc.
