theres always a bit of noise, when moving the steering wheel it is loud, when at full lock it is louder.

This happens when the car is moving or not. I'm pretty sure its the power steering pump, can ya fix em or do i have to get another one ?

In the Information and technology industry the first thing a tek will as is for you to explain what it is and is not doing in more detail. I see no resin why this shouldn’t be the case here.

Please what kind of noise is it making?

Squealing, squeaking, grinding or another sound I have not covered here or maybe a few of the sounds all together?

Yeah it was just low fluid level. Very embarassing post !!!

Good to see it was just fluid, unusual that the HICAS light never came on???

Was going to say if it was the pump try make a distinguishing mark on the pump so u can tell if it is a new pump or just your one recoed, seen it done before charging for a new pump & the old pump has just had a seal kit put through it.

Give u a idea your looking at around $50 for a seal kit & about 1/2 hr to a hour to pull the pump down & rebuild it, so say $150 - $200 all done, with new pump say around $450 - $500...

Some thing to keep in mind... :P

how about this?

the hose coming from the bottom of the power steering fluid reservoir is always wet. i noticed this on alot of r33's. funny thing is the fluid level has never dropped. what's that about?

Had the same thing with my old 33, fluid would leak out the bottom hose and fill up the surrounding rubber sleeve. Ended up just getting new clamps and she was all sweet.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
