just got an R32 GTST shell, have fitted an RB25DET and box,

all the power steer lines/pipes were given to me in a box and im trying to use the rb25 power steer pump which doesnt have hicas.

has anyone done this?

any one have a diagram of the r33 and r32 power steer system so i can see what i have to do.

cheers

by far the easiest thing to do is buy a HICAS lock bar (dirt cheap these days) and remove the solenoids, lines etc.

Then just use rb25 pump and r32 resoviour. I feed from the bottom of the resoviour to the pump inlet, then 1 line from pump to rack, and 1 line returning from pump to resoviour

This is exactly what i was needing help on for my conversion. I dont have any of the lines, I already have all solenoids removed and a lock bar fitted, so i wasnt sure how the pipes should be run either.

Because the hicas is gone, can i just run the pump to the steering rack then the steering rack to the resovior, then the resovior back to the pump?

I was thinking about getting some banjo bolts with the barb fittings and just pushing on the hose lines. what do you reckon?

Im heading to pirtek in a few minutes.

Once i measure up how i'll run the lines and what fittings etc ill post up how i did it.

Will be from reservoir to pump - pump to bottom fitting on rack (high pressure pipe or crimped connectiins) - rack to power steering cooler loop near radiator (low pressure hose and clamps) - from cooler to reservoir

Sorry for Necro but...

I'm putting a NEO rb25det in an R32 and also having issues with powersteering pump alignment and HICAS removal. I have the RB20 pump, an RB26 pump and neither seem to provide any joy. Next step is to source an RB25 setup, will any RB25 Powersteering pump work or does it have to be off a NEO?

You will not be able to make it work with the old pumps on the new motor. The pulleys are different. OK, you may be able to make it work if you can find/make/adapt/space a suitable pulley.

Plus, one of the benefits of doing Neo into R32 is to get yourself some engine ancillaries, like the PS pump, that are 10 years younger than the old RB20 stuff!

So, the answer is to get an R34 pump and be done with it. After that, all that is required is to get the hoses from an R34 and attach them to the engine bay pipework for the R32 rack. Some Pirtek/Enzed assistance is required. Piss of the plumbing to the HICAS gear and throw it all in the skip.

      @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?

      Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!

      I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).

      At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself

      I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.
