Happend to mine a while ago

Swapped pumps and still was stuffed

Then I jacked up the front, with the engine off, and turned the wheels both ways as far as it could go about 5 times each way. This supposedly gets rid of any air in the system

It didn't seem to help much, maybe a touch lighter, then a day or so later it was back to normal

To this day I have no idea what caused it

I replaced all ps lines, new fliud (bled the system as chris said), even fitted the tomei hicas lock black box (it stopped the light coming on the dash, but i havent fitted shims yet) and the power steering still goes heavy from time to time...its starting to piss me off big time...

How old is your battery? (Skylines are notorious for their sensitivity to voltages and charge rates). Check the connections onto the alternator. And maybe the plugs on the HICAS computer.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
