that's the front steering rack though right, not the hicas (rear) rack?

any extra lines that would normall go to the rear steering rack can just be removed, and plugged. :)

That's the front rack - where the banjos are on the right are where the normal power steering lines would go in.

Do they NEED to be bunged? I've heard that it may make the steering heavy without them bunged.... I don't see the theory though unless it's leaking something.

They shouldn't need to be plugged up. Front and rear steering are completely seperate except for a common resevoir.

I do remember that there are no lines going from the front rack to the hicas rack though. Are you sure it's an R32 rack? I've got a feeling that it's S13 as they had a junction (completely seperate) on the rack, but it's been a while since I locked S13 hicas.

I got an answer I need to plug it in my build thread.

What you're saying is that those 2 are the ones that lead to the rear and so they're totally seperate to the ones coming in from the PS pump/reservoir?

There are ZERO, NONE, NOT ANY connections on the front power steering rack that go to the rear. They have NOTHING to do with the HICAS. The HICAS and the NON HICAS front power steering racks are exactly the same.

:( cheers :O

Ok thanks that clears that up.

In that case what the hell are those holes for?

Thanks guys.

Turns out it was a non-issue. When I bought my rack I didn't realise I got that part seperately, so when I found it I put it on just to be safe. It's not hooked up to anything though :\

It's in now :P

Oh and if anyone finds this topic and puts a plate on it or re-installs the sensor make sure you use O rings.. nice fat ones that fit well :P

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture

      R33 suspension bushes replacement, what wears the most?

      As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.

      Oil Control In Rb's For Circuit Drag Or Drift

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.

      It definitely seems like you have no beef, with only digging up a 5 year old post, to comment on an inflammatory item with total insensitivity, and of which had nothing to do with the thread.  Yep, you definitely seem like a great person and your friends and family would be so proud to know of your lovely actions

      Returning after a long time!

      Thanks buddy, so happy to be back! Managed to pickup a Unicorn R34 completely stock and clean. Looking forward to adding some goodies to it and posting one here. I'm shocked that so many forums stopped. If you could find my old profile - I'd love that if its possible. My old account was JET200GT. My email might need to be fixed too. To use this one. I think it was the same though..
