hey guys.

i was driving my car(r32 gtst) home when i noticed the hicas light on my dash came on,

i also noticed that my speedometer stopped working. i drove it home and noticed that it

handled alot differently than b4. i checked power steering fluid levels, all fuses and

relays and all ok. has anyone had this problem b4? i am worried and should i keep

driving? its hard to get a mechanic at this time of the year. any suggestions guys?????? :)

hicas runs of the speedo. i am guessing your speedo cable snapped, just replace it and it will be fine. and the reason why it drives diffrent is because of the snapped speedo cable effecting the hicas which will effect your power steering. making the steering hearier just replace the speeedo cable and all should be fine again.

shouldnt create to much trouble if you continue driving it around in the short term even long term my 71 capri has had a snapped speedo cable for 9 months now but given it doesnt have hicas or power steering like the gtr.

Far out..that is freaky..same thing happend to me last night. Was driving home and slowed down to the lights, then speedo went straight to zero. Hicas light came straight up after that.

Checked the connection at rear of gearbox and that was fine, guessing it is the connection between the speedo itself and the cable...will find out. Checked fluids and fuses..however i tend to lose power steering after 10 minutes of driving since this happened..even though the power steering fluid is full with no leaks...any ideas to what it may be?

Anyways...good to see that i wasn't going delirious...

cheers again

Dan :blink:

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
