yeah the one near the pump is the one I re-connected. It made no difference. The other two don't have anything connected to them...

I do have a fuse missing, its labelled "INHIBIT" This supposed to be blank?

thanks heaps for this mate.

the female plugs--are they on the passenger side?

one has a black wire yellow stripe and is right next to the reservior and the other one is on the back of the strut tower and has a yellow wire with a red stripe. They look very similar?

Just wanna make sure these are the plugs you are talking about.

The only ones you have to worry about are the one right next to the res. Not the round grey one but the flat one with the orange head. It comes off the cap of the res. The other wire is round near the dipstick. It should be right in front of the strut tower. Small grey plug two wires. This is the pressure switch.

I'll check the fuse thing

and no worries, glad to help out.

nah these two are on the drivers side. no worries, I guess everythings okay, must be a knackered pump and or rack. I can get both for $250 so I may as well change both.....

thanks a lot mate, helped heaps. It failed pits today for this one reason so as soon as I can get it fixed I can actually drive it!! yay! he he

cheers dude, its been a mini nightmare with this thing. I guess a 15 year old car wouldn't be perfect! so far, new front discs, new pads, bushes, coil packs etc :thumbsup:

ah geez.... I love it though, the RB20 is soooooo much nicer then the SR.....

Damn straight!

yeah man no worries. I did the Hicas test today and sensors 5-9 came back dodgy. I do have a Tomei lock kit so this could be the cause.

On another note, normally on a car with power steering when you turn full lock the pump makes a racket. Mine hardly makes any noise so Im thinkin its pumping days are over....

Is it normal for the Power steering system to pulse during the Hicas test?

I'm pretty sure they do pulse when in diagnostic mode.

if the power steering is functioning correctly then it shouldn't make a racket at full lock.

yeah the speedo does work however it flickers a little at low speed and after 100 or so it sometimes sticks, then jumps to what its supposed to be.

Is the speed sensor the little key thing that goes into the gear box? I took it out yesterday and cleaned it but its still the same.....

reckon this could be the problem? Trouble is, no-one seems to know much about HICAS.

my theory was that maybe the car thinks I'm going faster then I am so the steering is tightening up to compensate..... Maybe I should try another speed sensor?

ummm what does it look like and where is the speed sensor?

That's the speed sensor you were talking about alright.

Mine does the exact same tihng you just said so I don't think tihs is your problem. EXACTLY how hard is it to steer. Is it like XD falcon doin a u turn hard or is it ford laser hatch doin a u turn on 155's hard?

No its not that hard at all, its more the fact of it not self centreing very well. The pit guy said it was too hard, I reckon its just a characteristic of the car, its not an Excel!! he he It doesn't feel much harder then my S13s I've had......

As far as self centreing goes, it doesn't come back fast enough for they're liking. If that's just how the car is though how am i to convince them?

STUPID QUESTION!: I've just had a look at the bearings behind the steering wheel and they're dry as with little bits of metal in there! Could that have an affect?

UPDATE: **** man, this is the dumbest thing known to man. I took the steering wheel surround apart, cleaned the bearings out and re packed them with grease. Steering is fine now, no return to centre problems..... ;)

Thanks heaps dude, you're a champ. :D thank god it wasn't the pump and rack!!!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
