R33 Gts-t 4-wheel Steering Question

Hi guys,

Im looking to purchase an R33 GTS-T from a dealer on wednesday. Went and checked it out on the weekend and it was imaculate however, the rear stearing cord was snapped preventing the rear stearing from functioning. The dealer said that he will have it fixed by the time i go and pick it up but i want to be able to check to see if it works first. My mate has told me i can test it out by driving around a few corners and if it feels like its dragging or slightly hopping or if the back half feels like its moving seperate from the front then its not connected. However i was just wonder if there is a stationary way i can test this, like if i have the car turned on and i lock the steering wheel to the left, will the reer wheels move as much as to be obviouse that its connected?

Its quite urgent as i would love to pick it up ASAP but i dont want to be left with a 4-wheel steering car that only uses two wheels to steer. :cheers:

If anyone could help that will be great.

Thanks, and BTW, this site is nuts. It has already shown me things about my car that i needed to know.

hicas wont kick in till after about 70-80kp/h, and it only moves the wheels by like 0.7degrees. you could see it move on the spot if you put the car into hicas diagnostic mode, the wheels should move from side to side. have a look in the TUT/DIY section to see how to do that.

I feel HICAS kick in as slow as 40km/h. If i change lanes sharply it punches into the corner unnaturally sharp.

It's easiest to tell on a motorway, but really just change directions sharply and you'll feel the rear wheels squirm a little.

HICAS diagnostic is a good idea.

Thanks guys,il try both methods when i go and check out the car tomorrow. Hopefully the cord wasnt "accidentally" snapped for a reason. i.e. Rear stearing is f*#<>d.

I guess il see tomorrow.

Non comprende. What are you talking about?

Its the electric cords behind the rear axel. a few cords bunched up (tapped together) and connected with plugs. Im not the most mechanically inteligent person, but im pretty sure the HICAS was disconnected when the cords here snaped. Its all fixed now, i got the dealer to do it before i bought it yesterday. i took it to a mate of mines work shop lastnight, we put it up on the hoist and its all connected. Then we took it for a drive and you can instantly tell its all working just by steering about a metre from side to side at about 70ks.

First turbo car ive owned and i love it. At around 3000 she kicks in nicely. Already looking into an electronic boost controller as she is just the stock 7pound at the moment.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
