In a R32 GTST there are two wires coming out of the top of the power steering reservoir. What are they for???

my guess is some kind of float level switch (magnetic), when i move the float up and down the shaft and do a continuity test i get an on switch when the float is down the bottom and the signal is broken once i move it back up agian. i cant see any light on the dash that would resemble low p/s fluid. or would it have something to do with the HICAS?

i accidently broke the wires off the top the other week,. they were all brittle and just fell of when i was checking my levels. the steering has been fine with no dramas. Just wondering if its fine to just leave them broken off? anyone know? can't reattach them as they are broken off right where they enter the cap. also i have a HICAS lock bar so i'm not concerned if its hicas related.

no warning light came on. but it only completes the circuit when float is down the bottom. i'll test it when i get my car back together by touching the wires together. cant test when ign flicked to on because all the lights are already lit up. cheers

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Absolutely could be. I collected data logs from when the O2 sensor was still out and also after I had replaced it so will try to compare them. Pretty confident that the affect is lowered with the new sensor, will check logs at the same RPMs/conditions.

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
