Hi people, well yesturday i removed my cluster to get rid of the speed alert box thingy and changed some lights while i was at it then put it all back together. then a few hours later i went to take it for a drive and all seemed fine for the first 5-10min,, then all of a sudden i realised my speedo wasnt working but i was sure it was when i first took off.

Then when i hit a turning point i realise my power steering wasnt working. I also have a greddy turbo timer which tells me the speedo reading in digital and thats wasnt showing anything either.

My factory boost gauge isnt working either but i dont really care abt that as it only reads in mmg or whatever and i can just get a boost gauge down the track but no speed reading or power steering is pretty fu*kd up.

When i removed the cluster again i notice a plastic bit hanging out of the speedo which wasnt there before so i tried to stick it back in but the mddle bit of the plastic kept going back into the outer part of the plastic so i stuck it back into the speedo cable in which that didnt push the middle part of the plastic back out so i guess nothing is moving the speedo.

So now the plastic is freakn stuck in the speedo cable and i dont know what to do.... is the plastic bit suppose to come off like that? or have i Fu*kd it? Some answers would be appreciated.... thank Q

You have most probably not put the cable into the back of the speedo correctly. Or you've broken the end of the cable inner.

The speedo sends a signal to the P/S system so it knows how much assistance to apply. If there is no speed, then no assistance is required.

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
