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.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.

      Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
