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.

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
