Hi guys,

long story short, when driving my car and turning steering wheel to the left by only like 1-2 degree, i can hear the noise coming from the front (most likely driver side) very hard to tell what the noise like.. (sound like moving part touch something, very small noise but get lounder when drive faster). when car stop, turning steering wheel, no noise and checked everything, nothing touching....

Any ideas?

cheers

I have this on my R34 but its on the passanger side! happens when I move the wheel slighty to the left there starts a squeek from the footwell area or it couuld be the glovebox area whrn i straighten up the wheel it stops. Interestingly this doesnt happen if the AC/heater is turned off

thanks for sharing the info guys

if it cause by power steering fluid, why only happen/making noise while the car moving and turning left!! it should happen all the time, shouldn't it?

edited: just went to my car, checked all the wheel nuts, all good. then, checked power steering fluid, all good

any other idea guys?

cheers

went to another inspection.. seem the front wheel bearings are fine.. then..

what we found .. the steering rack is leaking, and the tie rod end (ball joint at the end of the rack) has a cracked boot which has caused it to dry out.. so, is this can cause the noise while turning? any idea?

how to fix this problem? do i need to get this rack rebuilt? or any after market rack out there? how about the tie rod end?

cheers

if it was wheel bearings you would hear metal scarping againts each other all the time driveing, which on of the balls must be cracked or hole thing gone from experience just spent $370 to get it all done both front wheel bearings compressed out and in lol and had to get hub changed as well as rode like that for 3 months lol, but befor i did that i got it checked out by power steering specialist and he told me that rattleing noise while turning could be ur CV joints, but this will only happen when turning hard or just a little, then you would have to get ur power steering recoed i dont know price as i didint get to ask lol but goto any specialist and get them to check it out and give an assesment on price and get back so i know how much it will be too lol just incase

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
