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.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

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

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
