Power Steering Problem! Feels Like Driving A 80's Truck , R33 Skyline

[Burrieddreamz]

hi guys

i just spent about 3350$ on my car

got a fully stock R33 engine , harness and ecu with labour.

now everything is okay except the power steering and speedo

Power steering looks like doesn't work. I checked the fluids and all, everything is topped up but still that doesn't work .

what it could be? before engine replacement it was all good

You put your steering wheel on properly?

If speedo no work then power steering no work because hicas says so

[Burrieddreamz]

oh okay thanks for that man . so its the HICAS issue . i'll go yell at the garage guys

[Burrieddreamz]

okay so now Speedo is working and Power steering is still the same !

can it be a pump ? cuz one of my mate said it could be

am now running Series 1 engine and series 1 looms not series II !!

what can be the other issues?

[Hadouken]

Hicas plugged in?!

[Burrieddreamz]

I don't know how to find that out.

I know this thing that Series I doesnt have HICAS but Series II has.

now with my car ive recently installed Series I looms, ECU and S1 engine ( S2 harness have been pulled out)

so does that mean its not connected?

I heard if HICAS Is a issue it gets heavier . whats the possible solution you can think of? needs a Series I power steering parts?

All r33 have hicas

Speed sensing steering ? low speed light , high speed tight

Does the pump whine ?

Air pockets or leak?

Enough air in the tires ?

Is the fluid foamy ? Or not red ?

Dump oil replace with "lucas power steering oil " from stupidcheap 20 bucks and your steering will love you it makes it so much smoother and no more whine on the pump unless its shagged or full of air ( leaking )

Jack up the front wheels and turn lock to lock a few times to rid rid the air pockets and work the new oil in
