:P Hi ppl.

i have a problem with my power steering whereas it will make a huge groaning sound when first started (cold start) and turning the wheel, but as the car warms up it gets less noticable, ive been told that it could be the fluid needs changing, fluid could be burnt?

i am getting this looked at this saturday, but the guy thats looking at it has asked me to see if i could find a power steering pump just in-case it is that, he doesnt usually work on lines so thats why he asked me to do it.

so to the point, does anyone in perth have a power steering pump laying around they want to get rid of, i mite not need it if it is just the fluid, but it is better to know that i can obtain the part if he needs it, then it can all be fixed in the same day........

its a R33 SI

thanks ppl......

:D

same here on the s14

made a helluva nice noise

and then the noise got worse as less and less fluid

its like the line was chaffed

weird

anyways easy fix... A1 auto got some hose etc... changed it all bobs ya uncle..nice new fluid

it should be self bleeding in the sense its a pump etc

Zanda you were right.......

i popped down at lunch to see ken, and after him checking it and putting somemore fluid in it, it was fine, it was between the markers on the reserviour, but must have been too low......

Thanks to ken at hyperdrive, and dont laugh at me too hard it was an honest mistake!!! hehehehe :):D

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
