Want to know how I can bypass the heavy steering in my r32 has anyone done this by simply wiring in 12v to the plug in the rack?

My speedo cable isn't attached so Its normal steering until about 2 mins into the drive it goes heavy

And no I can't just re attach the cable as I have a 25 box and am waiting on a conversion part to come in and I want no heavy steering for matsuri in 2 weeks.

I've been searching and the most I've found is that someone said it can be done by some wiring.

Any other ways to bypass it without removing the solenoid and blanking it off completely?

Thanks guys

I thought the change from low to high power assist was a hard cut but perhaps it's not.

Perhaps it alters the duty cycle of the solenoid to give a smooth transition, thus variable power assist?

If this is the case, I can understand why they wouldn't want the solenoid activated constantly.

I can't comment much as I don't fully understand it , my mate was the brains behind it.

But if I'm correct 12v would make the steering feel rediculously light, or heavy. I forgot.

We tried a few different settings as there are 5 settings on the converter.

You could wire in a dial/switch and change it to your liking however I'm happy with how it feels at 5v so I didn't.

I shot this question to a pretty clever bloke on the UK forum and he suggested a 12V PWM running 80% duty cycle at 200Hz.

Then I did some Googling to find out what a bloody PWM was and surprise, surprise it's not all that difficult.

But if your reduced voltage works, then that's good.

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
