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

well i have found that the powersteering is leaking a lil and dint have any fluid in it i topped it up but it still dosnt come back inline wen i am turning

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

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)

      I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
