Hi there

Does anyone know what controls the variable power steering (ECU, speed, pressure) on the R32 GTST

My R32 only works on the heavy setting, it is power steering but doesnt change to the lite setting at slow speed.

It was working as it should when i first purchased the car.

Also i have change the steering rack solenoid and flushed and bled the system.

Any ideas please.

Yes the speedo works fine and all dash lights go out when engine is started

Also the hicas had been removed before i purchased the car, and the steering was working ok then.

Thanks for the replies

Yes the fuses are ok

It was working ok for about 6 months and then started working only sometimes and now not at all.

Also i have just replaced the flow solenoid on the steering rack = no change ?? Still heavy.

If you get the GTR manual on pdf, somewhere,cant remember where,

The steering diagnostic flow charts start on about page 580.

It looks like theres a few things it could be, but its sort of complicated, so read that, it should help.

I know its GTR but it would be similar if not the same. Anyway theres no HCR32 manual in english that i can find.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
