Just Got My Rb30 On The Road Finally.. Just Having A Few Teething Problems

[jarrod83]

Hey guys, finally got my car running tonight.. after 7 months off the road it feels so good to be back behind the wheel anyway most of the engine stuff has gone pretty well... everything seems normal as far as i can tell so far.. im having trouble with the power steering pump, it doesnt seem to want to suck up any of the power steering fluid from the reservoir, all the fluid was completely drained when it was all apart and the pump is new from a 2nd hand gtr.. ill give it another go tomorrow and do a bit of forum searching.. the main problem im having is i had to lower the k frame about 15 mm to clear the dump pipe, which has thrown my steering geometry out.. would a wheel alignment possible fix this? when i get the car running properly i do plan to take it to get the dump pipe modified so the k frame can be moved back to its original height.

Cheers for any info

it would be a 30 min job for an exhaust place to modify and extend your dump pipe (if you don't have the tools to cut it and weld in an extension yourself)

Whatdo you mean by power steering pump to suck it?

The reservour is still above the pump right?

got the power steering pump working.. it just wasnt wanting to drain the resorvoir into the pump, a good 30 mins of turning the steering wheel backwards and forth while the car was off fixed it, sorted out the wobble as well =]
