hey guys

well a little while ago my speedo just stopped working . so i searched on the forums and found something about the speedo cable snapping hence why hicas light turns on and i lose power steering after a couple minutes of driving.

today i changed the speedo cable over and nothing was wrong with the old one . so if anyone has any idea's on what could be wrong any help would be appreciated

thanks rory :)

was the apexi rsm installed recently?

check the speedo wiring near the ecu, maybe that has a short somewhere there.

i know when i installed my rsm. i forgot to tape up the speedo wire. so when i turn corners the ecu would move, making the wire ground itself to the body and the steering would go heavy.

32's use a cable driven speedo, and i think the ecu gets a electronic signal off the back of the speedo.. so if the RSM was shorting out, it shouldn't stop the speedo from working.

Well, you will be happy to know that I am experiencing the EXACT same problem, Hicas light, no Power steering, No Speedo.

Im not sure what ties them all together but this is the second day this has happened, Im at work at the moment but im going to try to see if the speedo works up untill I get the hicas light on.

hicas and power steering are speed sensitive, so no speedo reading gives you hicas errors and heavy steering.

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
