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

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
