Basically, power steering is not working properly and making my car very unpredictable when driving.

It seems to have a mind of its own, most of the time its smooth and feels great but on the odd occasion, sometimes more on often on certain days it becomes very stiff and jerky, making turns very uncomfortable. When stiff and jerky it tends to want to steer in anti-clockwise direction - to the left.

Any one experienced this problem?

any help appreciated cheers.

Hey bud,

I had a recent problem with my R32.. the steering would jerk and the hicas light would flash.. it turned out that my grounding in the car had started to rust and the power steering circuit wasn't getting enough voltage. So, if you haven't already.. check your grounding points, should be right next to battery and onto the chassis.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

D.

yeah my hicas warning light is driving me insane... also have installed a lock bar and just looped the lines at the back where the hicas bar used to sit.

I'll have a look if theres any rust in my grounding point, thanks dnissan.

Might also have a look into the steering box thanks also htial.

any more suggestions?

    • Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult
    • Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 馃槀  So what's the plan for the exhaust? 
    • The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.  
    • Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.
    • Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
