Hi guys

Just have a question and hopefully i can get some assistance with this

i Have a 1993 r32 GTST

Sometimes when i am driving my steering wheel goes down to the left, i have had a wheel alignment and the steering wheel is usually straight, its just sometimes it goes down to the left if i put my foot down a little. i know that its not the wheels spinning because even when i slow down it will still do this and eventually correct itself.

I am wondering whether it could have something to do with the hi-cas, however the light doesn't come on when this happens and i have seen the light come on before so i know it works, not sure about properly due to this thou

If someone has any ideas please let me know

cheers

are you noticing any vibrations in the steering wheel at speed?

does the steering wheel dip at different speeds or always at the same speeds

you may have to get the wheels balanced in addition to a full thrust (front & rear) wheel alignment

you might also have to change the tie rod ends on your suspension if the rubber bushes are worn out

I had a similar issue on the highway when I had my old r34, when I would hit 110km/h the steering wheel would slowly pull right then when I slowed down it would correct itself

turned out i needed new tie rod ends on the front, and then a wheel balance and alignment and the problem went away

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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
