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.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
