hi all

just got my new car a R31 import and it has a Leaky Hicas Steering Rack.. i took the boots off because they are split and they have a fair amount of PWS fluid in them.... All the fitings are tight so i say its coming past the Seals inside the steering rack....

Anyone know if i can buy a rebuild kit or something and do it myself or should i cop the price and go to a steering joint and get them to rebuil it?

anyone Know an Approxiamate price??

Cheers all

:rolleyes:

sounds like the same problem i have on my GTSx Coupe too ..... ive been thinking to remove some of the hoses and fittings and getting new washers.. but that could be just wasting my time and money.

i'll keep an eye on this post.

i'll pm ya if i have any news on getting mine sorted too.

Matt

no because i have a Simple on Or Off Switch for hicas in my boot... and its not as easy as removing it, if you had an idea of how differant the hicas setup is on an R31 to an R32 it is very differant. it uses 2 seperate pumps on each control arm to move the Control arms minimal degrees, so i would rather keep it all standard because im not into drifting it....

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
