OK back on track.

Apparently my Power steering rack is weeping oil from the pinion seal.

I found this on some site:

Yes, you can replace just the "boots" on the end of a rack-and-pinion steering provided that the mechanism is not damaged. Unfortunately, the boot is just a dust cover and if the inner mechanism has started leaking there really isn't much that can be done without completely disassembling the mechanism. The fluid in a rack assembly is under pressure from the power steering pump and once it starts leaking the rack is pretty much "done".

Is this true?

Iain do u still have the steering rack from the wreck? does it really matter? I can see the fluids are a little low but I can just top it up I suppose..

yeah i have it, but at the moment its being used in a jig

as for people looking for M35 stuff, there is an entire forum for this exact thing. we have just been a little lax in creating the FAQs. but its there if you want to browse or add info to it

That forum is good, but there's information on here that isn't on there and vice versa. it's just another forum to visit...

Not to keep it too on topic with M35 info; but you've just reminded me that we noticed this on my car a couple of months ago - and it was no worse many weeks after that iniital spotting (when we did my sway bars). A very slow weep. Fluid levels are still fine also. Would be interested to know the verdict on how much a new rack might fetch. Theres been a few M35s wrecked in the country, and several brought in for parting out - and yet we're still not seeing an abundance of parts avaliable

Is V35 the same or are AWD steering racks different (showing my lack of knowledge here...).

[wht510]

All good questions.

How about getting it recoed? I know some of the power steering companies can do them in under half a day.

Does anyone on here have the 3 nismo gauges that are in the center console in white???

Dunc does if you want to check them out on a local car.

Like Josh said, they're pretty easy to get on IM. Always a set there.

Brad even fixed my boost sensor so it always works now too

[bigkevracer]

'Always works'? He told me you have to solder it up every couple of months...

Scotty put a good writeup on how to fix it on here, I just keep forgetting about it.

Well, I'll let you know if it fails again - but for the time being, its working consistently

[bigkevracer]

You still going to Dyno Day Dunc? Any idea what you'll put out?

Yep, hoping for 180+ but we'll see how it goes on the day

[bigkevracer]

Sounds good. When are your injectors going in?

Cheers guys, i already have a set but as i have a Nismo dash i would love a set of white gauges to match

You could always get Jesse to get a price off Nissan Japan/Nismo?

Part number is 24845-RNM50-W and I think they used to be around 23,000yen

Here's a handy little Nismo parts page

OR even better, just for to http://hirano-tire.com, click on "Search by logo"... and kiss your afternoon goodbye
