Ok well I've had my R32 gts-t (1992) for a year now and nothing has gone wrong until last night. first thing; started it up and there was a fair bit of smoke as it warmed up, which doesnt usually happen, then after a minute or so I noticed the speedo and odometer had stopped working. Its a Nismo 260kmh one and the tacho/other dials were working fine. Then I noticed my power steering had failed, and the HICAS dash light had come on, and stayed on. Popped the hood and couldnt see anything loose/obviously wrong.

So does anyone have any ideas as to what these symptoms could mean? I have no idea...only thing I can think of is that Dr Drift remapped my ecu about 2 weeks ago, he also put a new manual BC in because my EBC was spiking and maybe this has something to do with it.

Cheers for reading

If your speedo is not working then the hicas light will come on and the power steering will go heavy as hicas has lost it's speed signal from the speedo.

The speedo could be a cable or speedodrive problem.

You haven't put an r33 box in have you?

Your smoke problem is probably unrelated. It could be tune related or an AFM fault.

Got exactly the same problem.

Just randomly the speedo stopped working and hicas light came on and steering went heavy. . weird thing is that every now and then the light turns off and steering goes light again then it goes heavy again?????

and im blowing smoke. . was something else and that was fixed but now it only smokes when i back off (valve seals have been replaced and still does it) and it blows smoke out of the catch can ONLY when boost is on when its not on its fine???

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
