Im sure you could source a good second hand one, or even better get it reco'ed. I think...is it DBA??/....that place that does brakes and clutches....i dunno Friday after work sucks :)...well yer, they had new parts for my car. Youd be suprised what you can get new for imports these days....their not so rare now, just make sure you ring around for a cheap price :P

Either that or Transteer...damn fine workshop :D

Dean it is the motor not the rack (thank god :D)

Joel enough out of u :(

Umm ok I will c about getting it rebuilt, the thing was rebuilt only 2 years ago too so whoever did that didn't do it prop :)

GFXMan, mate it doesnt make a noise anymore, it leaks and doesn't work under 2000rpm now LOL.

At the start it worked fine but it was just very noisy under load...very noisy.

Then it developed a leak and dumped all the fluid.

So basically the fixed the leak (in the high pressure hose), and put new fluid in.

I think the problem was (before the leak) was that the fluid was not gettting through properly.. not sure why.

Are you sure your steering rack is ok?

i have no idea about the steering rack but the fluid has stayed the same level since i got the car. no signs of leak? maybe a clog?

the thing is the power steering works for the first few minutes when i start the car then it stops but its not fully cut off. its just a bit harder to steer. heaps weird

i havent had the chance to bring it to the repairers yet but i have been to JADE or something on Port rd and they seem really dodgy. they kept my power steering pump for bout 6months just to test it. and i had to ring them up to hassle them to check it 4 me then they just said the pumped was stuffed and they had got rid of it.

yeah my hicas is stuffed as well

the power streering cuts out after the first minute or so then soon after the hicas light comes on

i didnt think it had anything to do with the power steering system? hicas problems is common with r32s but i wasnt fussed about getting it fixed but if its linked to the power steering then might as well get it fixed too

i was at a suspension place at Melrose park? next door to RPM and they gave me a number to this place that might be able to help.

havent tried them yet but if u want its

"Re-Car" 8263 9833

does anyone else have the same problem?

G'day mate,

I also have a 1JZ-GTE with power steering and oil leaks. Do you have any pictures of your engine bay or power steering setup?

I have a few small leaks in the hose i assume, but not sure if it is the rack. And recently I have lost half my engine oil due to a leak on the bottom end somewhere.

Have you had any major oil leaks. replaced valve stem seals, cam seals or anything thing else since you have had it? Have you had any problems with it since you have owned it?

Cheers.

Hey All,

I have an issue with my power steering..... basically it is f@ked! :D

Can anyone recommend someone that can fix these and wont rip you off?

I was thinking of maybe going a new one , but NFI where u would buy a brand new pump for an import?

Cheers :D

Rob.

Howdy Danish,

Umm I dont not have any close-up pic's of the pump or bay but I will try to get some up asap.

On the Powersteering note mine is again making noise under load... sometimes it is minimum , and sometimes it is loud.... so basically the pump is still shagged and is going to need preplacing to get rid of the noise .. or rebuild with a new seal/bearing kit... it works ok so I will live with it at the moment I guess.

As for engine leaks my car does not have any... the engine came from a half cut out of a JZA70-R and it looks like all the proper servicing was done whilst in Japan (including the proper 100,000km service ..eg timing belt).

Umm only things that were replaced by the previous owner (in Aus) was the harmonic balancer (nfi what it is LOL) and the waterpump.

The only real issues I know of is the turbo's on the 1JZ can be fragile when boosted to much... mine has not been boosted in Aus, and half cut never had any type of boost kit installed.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
