tonight i was driving my skyline and i was going around a coner i put my foot on the barke and i lost all steering( i couldnt turn the wheel). then i stopped the car and it stalled (its an automatic). so i popped the bonnet to have a look around and it all seems fine so i start the car back up and it runs but there is a loud ticking noise comming from the turbo. so i got it home and i am not sure if i should drive it or get it towed to service centre. can any one help.

OK, so if the engine stops then the power steering stops to, so I'd say the engine stalled as you braked around the corner which means you may have the same problem the wife's car has which is when the fuel goes below 1/4 tank it will stall around corners. Check your fuel level and let me know. The ticking is normal. Simply a combination of valves and injectors.

firstly, did you check the Fluid in the powersteering resevoir?

and the drive belt tension as well.

thats odd that a sound is coming from the turbo..i find it hard to beleive....

the powersteering pump is actually next to the turbo in front.... does it tick when you turn the steering when its stationary?

you might of got confused?

anyhow.....check and let us know.... (sometimes when the powersteering fluid is low....or gone....yes it can tick.)

yeah i have checked the power steering resevoir i did it again this morning and the levels are fine.

i got someone to turn the wheel whilst i was under the hood and its not the powersteering ticking i still think the noise is comming from the turbo.

take it to a mechanic. an ecu check would be a good start mate so thats why i say the mechanic.

But also, i'd be checking the fuel since it was only just filled could be crappy fuel, and id also be checking the fuel filter isnt choked up.

If i had a dollar for every car i saw running off song simply coz no one thought to change the fuel filter i'd have at least $15....

makes u wonder how many a mechanic see's??? hundreds or maybe thousands?

Mechanic after visit - "That'll be $600 thanks mate, she's had a full tune up now"

well sometimes never say never...

but its hard to determin without being there

however, unless your telling us something has shattered?

a friend of mine had a Pulsar SSS with T4 turbo without an air box and whilst driving a rock got sucked in and shattered the wheel.....

but you will notice if it was that?!

Check *both* of the engine A/T control fuses in the kick panel, funny things happen when one of these lets go...including low rpm stalling and stalling around corners.

      Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪

      Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues.

      What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly

      I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
