Speedo Cable Pin

[stormtrooper]

Hey guys,

I noticed yesterday me speedo had stopped working. Everything else is fine fuel/torque split/oil/revs etc, however no speed. I took the dash apart and checked to make sure the pin was in place and that the speedo cluster itself was OK and all looks good. Put it back together and drove up the driveway, still no speed. Took it out again and then noticed that the white pin was all of a sudden missing. Hunted around inside the dash and found it, pics below:

Not enough pics imo but you get the idea...

What I want to know is, do I have to replace the entire speedo cable or can I just replace the pin itself? At the base of it, as illustrated, has 2 nice splits up the side of it. Alternatively, if it's not dodgy, would superglue work? hehe

not exactly sure what 32 cables are like but if its similar to 31 cables you'll need a new one. i broke then white pin off the end of myne and superglued it back on (works fine still) but yours looks like its broken further down. if you think you can super glue it then give it a go, pretty hard to break anything else in the process

I see you continuously checking out my thread Snozzle.... help me out here man !!! hehe

[snozzle]

haha if it was me be id replace the whole cable, i thought bubba would have had a more efficient trick to it than that so i didnt bother posting the obvious, blame him for not helping!

Damn you Bubba! Sif hold out on me.... Yeah will need to replace it methinks. Replacing it is a pain in the ass from what I have read hehe. Need to be some kinda contortionist >.< fun times...

Bubba's solution for speedo cable fix would be 25/30 hybrid the engine then the speedo will work

You'll need to replace the whole cable.

That white plastic bit is part of the casing at the end.

I think I paid $15 for a cable from a wrecker...otherwise they're around the $130 mark geuine, from Nissan.

Correct that, genuine from Nissan, $125, link here...shipping cost unknown.

its not that hard to replace, if you can get easy access to your gearbox and under the engine should be easy. its just a fair bit of tight spaces thats all

[stormtrooper]

Sounds like flash is offering to replace mine for a carton.....

[XxNinjaxX]

Sorry guys, HDD died on Friday but I'm back!! lol

Had my pin snap, replaced it with a brand new cable bought off the shelf from Nissan

Take dash surround off, take cluster out, get under side of car, unscrew cable from sender, go to engine bay, unbolt cable mount on firewall, extra cable out through exposed hole, throw old cable in bin, replace with new cable, drop a skid.
