Hey ppls,

Recently did front and rear bushes on the R32 and discovered the steer rod that runs from the steering wheel to steer rack has stuffed bushes. <attached pic>

I've found solid mount items but don't really want the increase in NVH that may result.

Does any one know of any aftermarket urethane etc?

Or who's ran the solids and found them to not increase NVH or hardly increase NVH?

I just put one in cubes.

NVH? wha?

The steering feels so much more direct you can feel the road a lot better. I took the car srifting last weekend and found that if the car was understeering badly i could FEEL when the front wheels got grip back. it made the car a lot easier to handle.

1 downside :P I can now HEAR the p/s pump working if i am parking and putting lots of load on the steering. it's a SSSSSSSHHHHhhh noise. it seems to act like a microphone seeming as there is no rubber damper there anymore.

I got mine for $35 delivered from NV101 on these forums. it was well machined, fitted perfectly and was annodised black so you cant see it :)

Stock looking is best!

Oh, if you're havin trouble finding the guy, it's NV_N01, good bloke. Promt delivery.

I want to get one aswell but it looks like such a crappy job cos of everything being in the way.

How long did it take you CEF11E?

you will laugh, but it took a bit over an hour. you need a 13mm ring spanner and a long 13mm socket. also a really short 12mm spanner. use heaps of wd40 and let it soak.

the nuts are those load breaking nuts that have tension from the time they are on till they are tight. it is a bit of a pain in the A$$

you will need to take the spline out of the rack to slide the spacer on.

make sure you mark the splines so your steering wheel goes back on straight :P

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
