There's a good chance you have suffered the same problem that I had on my R32 a few years back. The wiring loom for the oxy sensor heater shorted, killing the oxy sensor and coincidentally killing the power steering. Took a bit of finding.

try checking the hicas fuses too, hicas is linked with power steering

there is a speed sensor somewhere in the dash , my brother just went through this and i am now experiancing the same prob replaced the sensor and now runs fine

its a steering angle sensor and its located in the steering column

the speed sensors are located on each wheel

hey i just noticed im missing a belt but im not sure what it is, there's the belt on the far left which is fan belt i think, then the middle belt which is power steering, then down the bottom on the far right bout where the intercooler and air intake box are theres pulleys for a belt but my belt is missing, anyone know what this belt is ??

Pretty sure the speed sensor for a r32 is at the back of the dash, connected to the speedo cable. If you've had the dash out recently there is a chance that it wasn't clipped in properly. Having said that, if your speedo is working it's probably not the case.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
