It looks pretty straight forward mate, Im going to do the same thing soon, as my P/S resivoir is leaking. I think one of the hoses has a split in it. Looks like your a type of bloke thats willing to pull apart and learn as you go, I say go for it..... Have a look for the lowest point in the lines or if there is a bung in the bottom of the P/S motor itself. Like I say, It should be pretty straight forward.

I just get one of those oil pumps and remove as much fluid from the reservoir as i can. Then i fill it up, and run the engine for a coupla minutes and then repeat about 2 - 3 times until the fluid is bright red like the ATF im putting in! The manual never mentions anything about replacing PS Fluid but I do it every coupla years or so just to make sure.

On the R32 there are 2 bleeding points in the rear steering rack. I imagine the best way to bleed this would be whilst in diagnostic mode while the rear wheels are turning. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO R33 AS IT IS ELECTRIC NOT HYDROLIC.

Air normally works it way out of the system fairly quickly. I've never seen the need to do this. Just turn the wheel from lock to lock a few dozen times and that seems to work.

undo any hose lower than the reservoir and let it out then turn the steer a few times and more will come out never all of it though . u can undo the pipe on the rack itself then u'll get more out the do them up and fill her up . when the reservoir is full start the engine and as the level goes down keep filling once its full turn steering a few times and fill up again the system bleed sitself out but make sure the level is right when u finish once its bled out u'll see the oil just red no more bubbles in it . i hope it helps u , its an easy job to do .

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
