Couple Of Strange Failures

[will-32]

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.

nah standard gearbox, and yeah smoke was probably just cobwebs, i just came across another thread with exactly the same symptoms and people said snapped speedo cable so i'll look into that

cheers

my mate had same symtoms in his 32...

turned out to be the cable

smoke would be unrelated to hicas and speedo probs i would imagine

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???
