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.

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
