My 32 in the last week has developed several problems...

LHS indicator doesnt work at all... light doesnt come on the dash and none of the side flashers work... hazzards also dont work but the RHS works fine.

Central locking from the drivers side doenst work any more.. however when you lock the door with the key it works fine.

Speedo no longer works... Plastic bit between the dash and the cable drive was broken so i repaired it with some glue... but it keeps failing over 80 kph... have fixed it 3 times and im sick of pulling the dash apart to get to it./. can you buy these things new from nissan or what?

Cheers

Simon

Make sure you havnt disconnected the hazzard cable when you were taking out your speedo.

With your indicators, you might have some electrical fault (take it to an expert and get a free quote)

The speedo you probably need to replace, they are about $50 and easy to install. Do you mean that once you go over 80km/h it just show

most of those parts you can get easy from people who wreck these cars. i know a good wrecker in melbourne who should have all these parts, PM me if you want his number.

I to have also snapped the plastic jig that goes between the cable and cluster. It is wedged in the cable good and tight. Hopefully i can get it out so I dont have to replace the entire cable.

The car is due over the pits by Wednesday.

Might have to replace the cluster and the cable. Lets hope not.

well thanks for that useful post.

Speedo plastic bit failed.. again.. super glue just cant handle it.

Nissan Genuine parts dont list the part on their computers. I would have to buy the whole speedo cable. @ $110

little annoying... as the cable in mine is fine.. i just need the plastic drive and NO one has them

Hi Simon,

I think he's referring to the thread title. There is no such word as 'numberous', it should be numerous.

With the central locking, if it works with the key, the actuator is working. It may be a wiring fault between the keyless entry control and the actuator - that is, the actuator isn't receiving the signal from your keyless entry/alarm/immobiliser control.

Hope that helps dude, good to hear you sorted most of the problems.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
