Hi all, im new to the sau forums, just migrated from NS.com as i get rid of my 180sx for an R32 GTST but before i can get it there is a problem with the speedo, from what ive been told by the current owner, he took it to the carwash and gave it an underbody wash , on the way home the speedo stoped working as he was comming around the corner and at the same time the hicas light came on, as i figure it the speed sender will be in the gearbox and hicas will take a signal from there to know when to be on or off (dont know much about hicas i just figured it would take a speed sample) is the gearbox connection full of water or is it another problem common to the R32 GTST?

Cheers Brock

common 32 problem u have, snapped speedo cable (they snap at the instrument cluster)

both of my 32's i have owned have done it

pretty sure the cable is around 100 bucks from nissan and is a 1hour job to replace it yourself, you'll find the steering gets heavy and hicas light stays on because the hicas system cant sense the speed input.

the speedo cable needle just needed re-sleeving in mine because it was freely spinning inside the speedo cable. by taking the cluster out youll see what the problem is and can fix/replace from there

FWIW, i re-sleeved mine with a drinking straw 6 months ago and still havnt had any more dramas

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
