Yoshi, I did have a little heavy steering at low speed but some extra caster was added and I haven't noticed it for months.

There are no lines on a 33, just electrics but otherwise it's as you said.

Hi, new to the forum:D

I've got an R32 GTST which is used mainly for drifting. I have a lock bar with two spacers, two dome nuts and four copper washers. Where exactly does the fluid system get capped? I gather the rack is swapped for the bar and rear lines are removed, but there are quite a few pipes and junctions at the front and that's the bit I'm stuck with. What else can I remove? It's not going to go back on, so reversability isn't an issue.

Many thanks in advance for any tips, and pics would be really helpful.

Okay, removed the rear (Hicas) output from the power steering pump and return to the reservoir.

It is now lashing fluid all over the place, even after a short run. Will this be alleviated by removing the internals from the rear of the pump, or will an S13 CA18DET power steering pump with the one outlet fit directly in its place? I'm not sure if it's leaking due to excess pressure caused by removing the rear line and plugging the outlet, but it's a bit of a coincedence if it is.

    • So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.
    • 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
