Basically, power steering is not working properly and making my car very unpredictable when driving.

It seems to have a mind of its own, most of the time its smooth and feels great but on the odd occasion, sometimes more on often on certain days it becomes very stiff and jerky, making turns very uncomfortable. When stiff and jerky it tends to want to steer in anti-clockwise direction - to the left.

Any one experienced this problem?

any help appreciated cheers.

Hey bud,

I had a recent problem with my R32.. the steering would jerk and the hicas light would flash.. it turned out that my grounding in the car had started to rust and the power steering circuit wasn't getting enough voltage. So, if you haven't already.. check your grounding points, should be right next to battery and onto the chassis.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

D.

yeah my hicas warning light is driving me insane... also have installed a lock bar and just looped the lines at the back where the hicas bar used to sit.

I'll have a look if theres any rust in my grounding point, thanks dnissan.

Might also have a look into the steering box thanks also htial.

any more suggestions?

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
