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.....

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!!!

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
