power steering could be a few things. could be the pump, could be low on fluid or could be a sensor. if the steering goes heavy when the speedo drops out then it could be to do with it having speed sensitive steering, in which case finding the issue with the speed sensor is the place to start. it will either be a loose connection or a dodgy sensor unit. it also comes down to whether it is just the wiring from the ecu to dash that is causing the speedo to drop out, or whether it is between the speedo sender unit and the ecu. either way, electrical issues are a pain in the arse.

speedo sender unit is in the gearbox. if you get under the car you will see some wires coming out of the gearbox. there will be 2 lots of wires, 1 lot is speedo, the other lot is the neutral switch. with a multimeter you could tell which is which (easier if you have someone with you to put the car in and out of gear with the ignition on (car doesn't have to be running though). but you could simply check all the plugs and look for damaged wires.

Speedo sensor is near the tailshaft end on the drivers side of the gearbox/transmission.

Disconnect and reconnect the plug for this, then in the engine bay near the fuse box there are some plugs near the radiator, disconnect and reconnect these. These plugs connect the speedo to the dash.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
