at 115 this morning i left work to come home and being a nice cold morning i decided to drive rather fast (or as fast as my stagea can i guess, its not that fast). anyway upon flat to the floor acceleration i notice my steering wheel turning right hand down. or rather falling right hand down. and now my steering wheel sits cocked to one side, at 60kms it sits pretty straight but at 100 it sits a long way around.

my car is stock except for just jap dump, hks high power, gutted cat, just jap stealth intercooler and h&n panel filter. ive also got a turbosmart boost t cranked right open. so 10-11psi

anyone have this problem??

you could be onto something there, when i first got mine i took it for a lash out country and came to where the tarmac stops and turns to gravel, thought i would try it out on the gravel rd and noticed the same thing ( only went about 50m). The torque gauge was way up near the 50 mark and i noticed a slight pull in the steering wheel, Mine has only done 50,000km so i doubt it if any thing is worn out

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
