I was driving home this arvo when suddenly the hicas light came on, steering went heavy and speedo and odometer stopped working. Looking through old posts on this website on the matter it seems that the speedo cable is broken and if i replace this the speedo will work again, same with the odometer and the hicas will also be fixed. Could i just geta quick yes or no as to wether fixing the speedo cable will fix the hicas/power steering problem as well.

i have similar problem i have a r33 gts-t my rev meter dies and hicas light comes on at the same time and comes back on again, ive pulled my cluster out and gave it a good clean pulled all the plugs out and put them back in, the problem is still there. Theres no modification done to the hicas and i dont have any after market tachos. I think the best place to pin point the problem will be auto electrician

yes fixing the speedo will fix the sterring

hicas is proportional to the speed you are travelling, if it doesnt know how fast your going, it turns off the power steering. (or drops to minimal assist)

Thankyou muchly for that craved...very happy to hear that.

Just one more q'n, is there any chance that it is a blown fuse that has caused speedo/odometer to stop or can it only be the speedo cable?

Thanks again!

happened to me once in my r32, pulled the speedo outa box and pulled on it. the cable didnt pull through ( not broken) i then mooved onto the cluster, when i pulled that out the lil pinion for the speedo into the cluster had poped out, put it back in and bang it all worked again. havnt had any troubles since.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
