Hey need some help today my speedo just decided to stop working and then the power steering stops working about 5 min into driving, i think the speedo has something to do with the power steering not working (not adjusting pump to speed). my question is how does the speedo work is it an electronic sender or is there a cable and if so where is it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanx

no speed reading will mean no power steering.

33's are electronic, you can pull the speed sender out of the back of the gearbox and check the gears, just hope its the gears as thats easier to fix then an electrical problem.

Hey guys i have recently had the same problem in my r32. Thought i would search first and found this thread.

My speedo stopped working first, then 30mins later steering went heavy. Power fc isnt getting reading either. Guess thats cos it reads it from the speedo cable which leads me to think that the cables the problem. Also i have an rb25det gearbox. Do the r33's have a sensor in the gearbox that converts in to electrical signal or is it a cable to the dash like r32 because my rb25 gearbox has a cable coming from it to the dash.

Also i spun the gear in the back of the dash with my fingers and the power fc picked up 20km/h but the stock speedo guage didnt so would this mean that the cable is snapped somewhere or that there is a problem with the gearing inside my dash cluster??

Power steering is now intermittant too. 1 min its working fine then the next, it goes heavy.

Hope that all makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

do a search for r32 speedo cable, there a plenty of both how to change and quick fixes for the 32 cable speedo

33 is electronic, but there has been a few threads on how they are converted over with navara cogs etc.

      All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible

      Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.

      They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox) They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox)

      Yeah, hard to find and a pain in the ass to change with the transverse engine. I’ve worked on a GTiR before and it’s not a job I’d ever want to do again. theres a company in South Africa that makes RS3 gearbox adaptors for the AWD SR20 including gearbox mounts, so I could modernise it and go a dual clutch with paddles. For now tho, it ticks all the boxes. Super cheap, can throw the kids and their junk in the back, and SR20 that I can turbo cheaply, a CVT that’s not a dog’s breakfast like the V35, and has 80% interchangeable parts with stuff I can source from the wreckers cheaply…. But it’s still unique. I love the wagon back of the Autech version. It’s cheap enough that I can buy another stock manual FWD Primera with SR20VE, swap the gearbox to the N15 pulsar short gear ratio box, swap out the brakes to the R32 ones I pulled off my 32, register it on club plates and take it racing. $1300 shipping from NZ. Heaps of parts and aftermarket builders for transverse SR20’s in NZ.
