I have tighter then normal power steering and a slight leak well as far as i can tell it might juist be oil i spilled last change can any body tell me how to do it . and also I have a blown ac compressor it seems to be hard to get its a dvk 14d deisel kiki, does any body know were i can get one or if there is a suitable compressor with the same lines

to bleed power steer mate all u have to do is fill the resivoir (spelling) with fluid and loosen off a hose shightly so it leaks a little then start the car and turn the wheel a LITTLE both ways a few times and turn the car off then tighten hose up etc....its good to have a rag to catch the oil as it sprays out too......this is how we do it at work ..... 90% of the time as soon as u drive the car even the first time it bleeds automaticly cause oil goes all through the system...... i may be wrong but this is what i have done ...... dunno if that helps.... ring a few importers and a/c placed about the compressor dude.....Jon

WHITE R32......Would you mind PMing me the name of your workshop......so I can ensure I never go there.

To my Knowledge to bleed the power steering you need to have the front wheels clear of the ground, fill the reservoir start the engine and whilst idleing turn the steering wheel slowly lock to lock until you get no bubbles of air in the reservoir, top up if needed and that's it.

Is wheels off the ground necessary? I've got a grinding pump and just doing up all hose connections before bleeding to make sure there is no leaks that are introducing air into the system...

Do you need to loosen any hoses when you are bleeding as suggested above?

just jack the car up so the front wheels are off the ground. (Makes it easier and doesnt leave marks in the driveway:))

You dont need to crack a hose, just fill the reservior up and leave open. Then turn the steering wheel full left to right watching for bubbles to come out. Keep going till bubbles stop..Keep topping fluid up as it goes down though.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
