Hey guys,

I noticed yesterday me speedo had stopped working. Everything else is fine fuel/torque split/oil/revs etc, however no speed. I took the dash apart and checked to make sure the pin was in place and that the speedo cluster itself was OK and all looks good. Put it back together and drove up the driveway, still no speed. Took it out again and then noticed that the white pin was all of a sudden missing. Hunted around inside the dash and found it, pics below:

Not enough pics imo but you get the idea...

What I want to know is, do I have to replace the entire speedo cable or can I just replace the pin itself? At the base of it, as illustrated, has 2 nice splits up the side of it. Alternatively, if it's not dodgy, would superglue work? hehe

not exactly sure what 32 cables are like but if its similar to 31 cables you'll need a new one. i broke then white pin off the end of myne and superglued it back on (works fine still) but yours looks like its broken further down. if you think you can super glue it then give it a go, pretty hard to break anything else in the process

Sorry guys, HDD died on Friday but I'm back!! lol

Had my pin snap, replaced it with a brand new cable bought off the shelf from Nissan :thumbsup:

Take dash surround off, take cluster out, get under side of car, unscrew cable from sender, go to engine bay, unbolt cable mount on firewall, extra cable out through exposed hole, throw old cable in bin, replace with new cable, drop a skid.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
