But i had all the bushes replaced at the start of this year, with superpro ones. I know the blokes at pedders, so thats where i take my car all the time. they even allow me in the workshop to giv em a hand and see what they do. I had my coilovers installed there last week, and went in on saturday and we took the bushes out and regreased em'. Thats why i dont understand what the noise is.

Yeh mate. S2 R33. I got told that it could be the steering rack. The situation was; i went into a double laned roundabout. The c*&t in the left lane cut across, so i swerved right, and the right hand side hit the gutter. Thats when i replaced the suspension and a couple of little bits. Yeh, i got told theres no cv joints. Could it be the steering rack? Are they expensive?

I also have this issue with my 33. I had a checkup at pedders today, castor bushes are gone and a small amount of play in the rack is all they found on the front.

I also would like to know how much a rack would cost.

If the most recent thing that was installed was the coilovers then perhaps that is the issue? Either the top pillowball or the spring? Other then that if you lowered the car when you put the coilovers in you may be putting new stress on worn parts that you wouldn't have noticed before.

From memory a mate bought a rack for an R34 for about $150 from a wrecker.

Sounds like a possibility. If you jack up the front of the car, front wheels off the ground, try pulling the wheel back and forth in the same directions it steers to feel for free play.

Hey guys..

One thing it might be that I dont see mentioned is the steering wheel has a piece of metal that absorbs vibration mounted inside it. This can fall out of its mounting, then when you turn the wheel one way or another sometimes it will clunk over to the other side of the steering wheel.

Sounds like it might be what you are feeling.

Found the related thread on how to fix it:

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
