what the hell? power steering is done electronically...

turn your car power on without turning over the eninge and turn the wheel...

other then that, dont speed...

cars like ours fitted with power steering works off a pump. What your thinking of is the steeringlock, and thats just locks the steering wheel when theres no keys in the ignition.

Hasnt anyone driven a car being towed before??? You still have steering, you still have brakes, they just become slightly harder to use. they arent going to magically disappear when the motor shuts down..

If you did a second gear pull at wot to say 6500rpm and put the clutch in and let it return to idle will it stall? If it does the electric idle motor (forgot the actual name of it) might be failing, which is pretty common in nissans, especially sr20's. Its job is to maintain a smooth idle drop so it doesnt fall too fast and stall the motor, if it isnt working properly you'll get a problem simular to what you are describing

hey all

i hope someone ca help me solve this mystery.

the other night i decided to see how my car would go at really high speeds (now im talkin i got up to 170k) the car did well, held it togther nicely, but............i threw it into neutral to put less strain on the engine as i slowed down.........then she stalled. f*** knows why!??

Im thinking maybe it was cause she was at such high rpm????????? please help! this is so weird! cause the the highest i can go is 180 km so i dont understand why!!!!

Same happened to mean going around 160 -70 the rpms just drop to low. You can fix this problem with some ECU tuning if you care that much.

When i was doing 100kmph i put mine in neutral and it stalls. It stalls when i pull up at the lights too. I have standard ecu, top mount turbo with dump pipe and no fuel upgrade as yet. I was told that I need to get a better ecu but then i read somewhere here that if i clean my aac valve that would stop the stalling problem.

hahahah... dont worry man. once in the early days i asked why ppl run different profile tyres front and rear. no, i really did.

then i realised it's based on percentage of width, yada yada yada.

edit: we should make this the 'admit how dumb you were' thread. but then i think we would already have one of those somewhere lol.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
