Help Needed, Reg Handling/pwr Steering

[GTL05T]

Hi guys

just a quick question. I have an R33 GTS-T 93 Model M-Spec.

I only had this for 4 months & the previous owner told me that the handling of the skyline is hard( pwr steering not kicking) when the rpm is low but when it reached 2 1/2 or above rpm the power steering kicks in & the handling is good, he said its a safety features that all skyline have. So am i a sucker to this? Engine is all good no probs, just the handling is pretty heavy when rpm is low. Any suggestion on how to fix this or is this normal?

Any input would be much appreciated.

cheers

If you have wide tyres it will get heavier.

the problem is u have to rev the car abit to turn the steering wheel.

its ok if its on 2000 rpm but from 0 -1000 its hard to turn & u have to rev it abit to be able to turn. i just wanted to see if this is normal to all skyline.

looks like its not.

i got wide wheels, must be the prob

I have 235 x 18 and mine, and its not heavy, quite smooth to be honest

What you were told by the pervious owner seems to be rubbish,

Check your fulid levels, and for leaks, also check the tension of the belt running the power stearing pump and its pulley. The belt may be loose or just the wrong size.

may just be something simple and easy to fix.

Cheers for the reply guys.

i just had a word with my mech, & he said theres no circulation in the power steering fluid at all!!

i just bought a pump, so i hope this would fix it.

cheers for the reply guys.
