hi guys

i just spent about 3350$ on my car

got a fully stock R33 engine , harness and ecu with labour.

now everything is okay except the power steering and speedo

Power steering looks like doesn't work. I checked the fluids and all, everything is topped up but still that doesn't work .

what it could be? before engine replacement it was all good

I don't know how to find that out.

I know this thing that Series I doesnt have HICAS but Series II has.

now with my car ive recently installed Series I looms, ECU and S1 engine ( S2 harness have been pulled out)

so does that mean its not connected?

I heard if HICAS Is a issue it gets heavier . whats the possible solution you can think of? needs a Series I power steering parts?

Speed sensing steering ? low speed light , high speed tight

Does the pump whine ?

Air pockets or leak?

Enough air in the tires ?

Is the fluid foamy ? Or not red ?

Dump oil replace with "lucas power steering oil " from stupidcheap 20 bucks and your steering will love you it makes it so much smoother and no more whine on the pump unless its shagged or full of air ( leaking )

Jack up the front wheels and turn lock to lock a few times to rid rid the air pockets and work the new oil in

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
