Going on my daily communte to work this morning, i notice my steering is a little heavy at low speed that it usually is. say below 50ish?

then as i was going on the motorway where i give it as you do, i noticed the car all over the place in ways it hasnt been before the steering was very very light and dangerous almost i'd say.

whats causing this? i want to get it sorted before this track day i have comming up otherwise i'll have to cancel.... again....

i dont have hicas, so cancel that one out. and i will check all my levels in a minute or two and report back

cheers :nyaanyaa:

speedo works fine, it has undergone a 34gtr conversion. but that was a while ago and this problem has just turned up.

there also could be a possibility that its normal operation, and i am just used to it from the week or so ago where i had a heavy steering problem

i need someone else's 32 to check this maybe

lot's of things will affect how the steering feels. castor has a big impact. toe has quite an impact too. I would be looking at a problem possibly with how the hicas was removed. I know of lots and lots of 32 GTRs that have removed hicas only to end up with steering problems.

i think i will find another to compare with. but i will definatley have to book it in for a checkup on the steering

What did you do to rectify the heavy steering?

nothing, well i dont know. it has a mind of its own lately.

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

      I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
