Sorry, not able to help. Dare I ask, is it the wheels that are a problem or the state of the tyres?

There have been one or two other occasions when people have asked to borrow wheels and tyres to go over the pits, because their tyres are bald. In such cases, the advice is always to go and buy some new tyres. We are priviliged to drive such wonderful, powerful cars as these. Decent tyres are part of the price for that privilige.

So don't be like the bogan Falcadore drivers, make sure your car is road-worthy. Otherwise you will wrap yourself around a lamppost somewhere.

(Bet you wish you had never asked, now!) Sorry for the lecture and I hope it was not needed. :D

Cheers.

I agree. You got stickered for bald tyres for a reason. I have had the privilege of driving on both bald and shit tyres, and trust me it isnt a nice expeience. Even without boost, I was afraid to drive my car (I had had my license for only a matter of weeks when I nearly hit a tree because my car slid out, I turned the corner at 10km/h if that). Mate, tyres arent that expensive, just do the right thing and you wont regret it.

Also, listen to what Brendan has to say. He has a lot more experience then most of us, and knows what he is talking about... Most of the time :P

Cheers, Rhys. Just call me old father time!!!! LOL. :bunny:

And Sl33per, as i said, sorry if it became a lecture. But if Rhys agrees with me, I must be right!!! :P

Yeah I agree with ML crisis :D

I span out on Bald tyres I'd hate too see someone else do that

and possibly hurt themselves or someone else in the process

if so replace the tyres

FYI

span out on the freeway about 6 months ago aquaplaned into the barrier after hitting some water

even still the tyres where pretty worn may have been different if the tyres were new

I know alot of people may look down on me for it but still just replace the tyres to avoid what i went through :)

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
