tonight i was driving my skyline and i was going around a coner i put my foot on the barke and i lost all steering( i couldnt turn the wheel). then i stopped the car and it stalled (its an automatic). so i popped the bonnet to have a look around and it all seems fine so i start the car back up and it runs but there is a loud ticking noise comming from the turbo. so i got it home and i am not sure if i should drive it or get it towed to service centre. can any one help.

OK, so if the engine stops then the power steering stops to, so I'd say the engine stalled as you braked around the corner which means you may have the same problem the wife's car has which is when the fuel goes below 1/4 tank it will stall around corners. Check your fuel level and let me know. The ticking is normal. Simply a combination of valves and injectors.

firstly, did you check the Fluid in the powersteering resevoir?

and the drive belt tension as well.

thats odd that a sound is coming from the turbo..i find it hard to beleive....

the powersteering pump is actually next to the turbo in front.... does it tick when you turn the steering when its stationary?

you might of got confused?

anyhow.....check and let us know.... (sometimes when the powersteering fluid is low....or gone....yes it can tick.)

yeah i have checked the power steering resevoir i did it again this morning and the levels are fine.

i got someone to turn the wheel whilst i was under the hood and its not the powersteering ticking i still think the noise is comming from the turbo.

take it to a mechanic. an ecu check would be a good start mate so thats why i say the mechanic.

But also, i'd be checking the fuel since it was only just filled could be crappy fuel, and id also be checking the fuel filter isnt choked up.

If i had a dollar for every car i saw running off song simply coz no one thought to change the fuel filter i'd have at least $15....

makes u wonder how many a mechanic see's??? hundreds or maybe thousands?

Mechanic after visit - "That'll be $600 thanks mate, she's had a full tune up now"

well sometimes never say never...

but its hard to determin without being there

however, unless your telling us something has shattered?

a friend of mine had a Pulsar SSS with T4 turbo without an air box and whilst driving a rock got sucked in and shattered the wheel.....

but you will notice if it was that?!

Check *both* of the engine A/T control fuses in the kick panel, funny things happen when one of these lets go...including low rpm stalling and stalling around corners.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
