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.

      I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
