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?

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
