Power Steering Problem

I have just replaced one of the rubber hoses (the smaller diameter one) on the power steering resevior. I didn't get a chance to start the car as I had to get a new battery. So when I installed the battery and started the car I noticed that the PS pump was cavitating (making weird noise) so I thought well its gotta be low in fluid so I topped it up and noticed that there was a huge gap of air in the middle of the reseviour. When I start the car it just turns whatever fluid is in the resevior to foam and the pump keeps whining.

Im just gonna give flushing it out a go and see what happens.

Any ideas what this might be?

Yeah make sure itf full when its running and bleed the system lock to lock then turn it off and let it sit for a couple of minutes then restart it. This is often a good way to remove aeration. The only other thing it could be is if its drawing air in the new hose you fitted. Check all hose clamps on the entire P/S system for leaks and tension.

      WTB R33 trunk side and rear carpeted trim

      Hey all. Looking for all of the carpeted trunk trim for my 95 GTST coupe. I’m having a hard time finding the pieces I need on US or Japanese sites/auctions and was hoping someone has a clean set stashed away somewhere?

      New aerial is aerialing well....trips into Goulburn are not losing the ABC classic radio signal Also......I've been procrastinating about wheels for the MX5, the car doesn't need any more tyre, I just "want" different wheels, so I went looking for something that legally fits the new Pilot Sports +1 size 215/45 17 that I'm currently running on the 17x7 OEM wheels (stock size is 205/45 17), not a silver, and not a black, ended up with gloss bronze Konig Dekagrams in 17x8 +40 which fit without the need for rolling the guards, whilst larger than the OEM wheels they are also lighter than the OEM wheels, and at just under $1300 for the set I'm more than happy with the price I seen a set of matt black Deka's on a MX5 when I was at MX5 Mania, same wheel size, same tyre size, sat really nice, and not stretched enough to look aids, although the 215/45 17 is the smallest that you can legally fit Just need to find some good black wheel nuts to suit

      So I decided that I wasn't happy with how I originally wrapped the loom with fleece tape. I didn't factor in the new intake manifold/plenum so it always sat a bit funny. Yep, I decided to unwrap it and redo how the wires would branch out. Added in a light twist too, here's hoping I didn't snap any 30 year old wiring because FML if I did. Took a few more photos of the shit box too, needed it for Enthusiast Insurance as they wanted photos to justify why my agreed value was above market by a fair amount.

      Help reliable 5-600hp

      if wanting reliability and that level of performance a dry sump is mandatory for circuit stuff as you'll just be filling the head with oil. easy and reliable setup with potential for more later Hypergear bolt on turbo or a g30-660 with T3 rear housing .92 external gate mod to factory exhaust manifold with 45mm waste gate plazmaman/pwr intercooler oil cooler 1200cc injectors 460 TI/walbro with upgrade relay and wiring/pwm control turbosmart fuel reg Link g4x plug in ecu with knock, oil, fuel pressure sensors, 3 port mac valve, DBW conversion Quality clutch kit- NPC is what I've used for a long time READ THE WHOLE OIL CONTROL THREAD Could do major service while there and maybe headgasket, studs and valve springs. as soon as you whack a massive turbo and short runner intake on a street car they are useless and not practical the above will be a fun and reliable 400-430hp on E85 all day with correct maintenance and mechanical sympathy.
