ok guys

well since i got the car about 6 months ago my steering was very heavy.... it would stick ito place so if i was to turn right it would stat right even where i let go of the steering wheel.. kinda like of like the racing games that you can play at the pub.

when i went to the mechanic he noticed it when bring it for a drive and he says it is my suspention because it is real low i dont think this is the case though..

anyway over the last week i have notices that is i move the sterring where like 3 cm right and left there is play in it and it will not move the car even wen im goin like 100ks..

also when i am going slow or not moving at al if i sudenly jerk the steering wheel to the right or left lightly ( it doesnt have to be a hard jerk) it will have a kind of a "crunk" sound

i have thought maybe the power steering pump but it seems a bit more then that..

does anyone have any ideas what it could beor has this kind of thing happened before to any one?????

and plz can you try to make it has simple as possible as i am not very mechanical minded lol

Sounds like you have a problem, i wouldnt like to hear a "crunk" sound coming from my car.

I'd suggest getting it checked by a professional tyre place & suspension place. I find that it helps to get a second opinion sometimes too if your not happy with what they tell you.

good luck

i am also interested as my 33 feels slow to come back round, although maybe its just how the cars designed?

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
