Hey guys, finally got my car running tonight.. after 7 months off the road it feels so good to be back behind the wheel :D anyway most of the engine stuff has gone pretty well... everything seems normal as far as i can tell so far.. im having trouble with the power steering pump, it doesnt seem to want to suck up any of the power steering fluid from the reservoir, all the fluid was completely drained when it was all apart and the pump is new from a 2nd hand gtr.. ill give it another go tomorrow and do a bit of forum searching.. the main problem im having is i had to lower the k frame about 15 mm to clear the dump pipe, which has thrown my steering geometry out.. would a wheel alignment possible fix this? when i get the car running properly i do plan to take it to get the dump pipe modified so the k frame can be moved back to its original height.

Cheers for any info

got the power steering pump working.. it just wasnt wanting to drain the resorvoir into the pump, a good 30 mins of turning the steering wheel backwards and forth while the car was off fixed it, sorted out the wobble as well =]

    • 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)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
