This occurs when i just start up the car! When i want to steer it out of my drive way it makes a huge noise. sort of like a rattle, grinding sound! I figured it was the power steering fluid..but it is full!

But the thing is when the engine warms up and I'm already down the road, the sound is no longer there. It only happens wen i first start up the car! Please give us some help or advice as to what the problem mite b :rofl:

Check power steer pump belt tension. With the engine running, standing still, try putting it on full lock and see if it makes any noise. By the way check the power steer fluid with the engine running.

I think the sound is coming from the belts! which one is the power steering one tho?

standing infront of the car facing the engine, the power steering pump is the top one on the right hand side.

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      I don't run the spring but it means you need to set your own belt tension.  I put tensioners on both sides too.

      Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know.

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.

      Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
