Hey all,

Just looking for some recommendations on where to take my R32t to have it's power steering inspected and repaired (may need new rack/pump recoed) - preferably in the SE suburbs.

I'd like to take it somewhere that works on imports and as such will be familiar with the p/s system and also knows where to get parts at reasonable prices etc.

Thanks!

Thanks for responses guys! I'll also be interested to see what you come up with R31Nismoid.

Mine doesn't seem quite that terminal as yet - feels a bit vague every so often and after driving for around an hour, I find that low speed full-lock turning (parking building style) feels lumpy like the pump is struggling to provide power assistance and the rack sometimes groans loudly while doing so! Doesn't display these symptoms when the car is cold however....

I drive around 500km a week though, so I'd like it to remain reliable...hence - fix the problem before it becomes a big problem!

damn dude, go any further back and you'd be talking to Jeebus

i had rack binding issues when on the track, but this was remedied via a p/s fluid flush followed by some top notch Castrol Transmax Z - $$ stuff, but completely smoothed out my issues on the track. The p/s fluid was black as anything when removed, probably cooked at prev driver days/track days. And yes, it's fine for p/s fluid despite what the monkeys at Autoshack/China cheap auto tell you

National Power steering in Dandenong, they are who i used 2 years ago

They did a brilliant reco on my rack and P/S Pump ;)

Is this the address?

National Power Steering

# 111 Box St Dandenong 3175

# (03) 9792 4430

Happen to know a rough price on reco of rack and pump?

Cheers

Patrick

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
