Power Steering Tight (R33 Skyline)

[FLYSKYCHICK]

hey guys, my power steering has starting playing up. after driving the car hard for a while the power steering gets really tight like there is no power steering at all... i got told it might be the power steering rack as its common on skylines...

how much is a power steering rack and where can i get one from. are they hard to install. ?

Might want to get the power steering checked properly before you go throwing money at it.

HICAS affects the power steering too, ie. when i tried to remove the HICAS ECU the steering was impossible until i refitted it.

How long do you have to drive the car for for it to play up?

Define "driving hard"?

Does it get progressively worse, or just all of a sudden go stiff?

HICAS light on dash?

What condition is the oil in? Level?

Any ECU/HICAS codes? P/steer pressure sensor etc.?

Do you only notice it when slow/stationary, or at speed too?
