Just want to know where the most common places on an 92 r32 gts-t for a power stearing leak.

My power stearing pump makes a very metalic rubbing noise when she is low on fluid aswell.

And she goes through the power stearing fluid quite quick.

Most of your original power steering hoses will be perished and leaking to some extent by now. I found the first to go was the main line between the reservoir and the powersteering pump. Most of the high pressure side is in steel so isn't likely to just spring a leak.

where the hose attaches to the pump from the res there is two bolts and the hose attachment comes off. Use permatex ultra blue or something along the lines of and smear a thin layer around it then replace it.

Thats where mine was leaking from.

I think i have found the leak.

As you guys have said it looks like the pipe from under neith the resevior.

It's the 2 small pipes off the resivior i think.

Where the best place to get some new ones/

are the realy any differnt from just a normal rubber hose you buy from supercheap?

I grabbed the trans/powersteer hose from the local autostore, 1m cost about ~$10.

The powersteer pump big hose I grabbed from Pirtek. $9 the length cost me.

All up i'd say it cost ~$40-$50 in hose, hose clamps x 10 and 1ltr fluid.

Very happy its fixed. The last 2 weeks prior to fixing it I went through 1ltr. :S

No special method removing pipes etc. Just rip them off. If they don't come off grab a small set of grips and twist the hose, if that still fails just chop it off with a stanley knife.

The large reservoir to pwr steer pump hose is 19mm ID.

400mm max length needed, I cut mine down a little furthur so that it didn't rub on anything. Tight squeeze but worked out well.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
