Its the leak yes, It happed to me before...

What it is that, where steering arm located it has Plasric/rubber cover is torn at the top.

It possibley make some kind of winding noise if you try to turn the steering wheel.

check your fluid tank and the rubber.plastic sleeve cover on steering arm.

even resiviour is full if there is leak on the top of the steering arm sleeve.

if your power steering resiviour bubble when car is stationary or not(turning). means there is leak some where.... ( my guess would be those one of steering arm rubber/plastic covers.

Run your fingers over them (squizze them) to check for leaks.

also if mechanic is the only option can someone make a recomendation?

Hey, i have the same problem, just yesterday the HICAS sign decieded to pop up, in the past all i had to do was top up the fluid! but not time time :) mine doesnt make any sound thou !! fluid is fine doesnt bubble so im hopeing its just a leak?? should put it up on the ramps go have a look!

I noticed this grinding noise the other day whilst parking my R32 gts.. under the fluid resivouir i notice there's alot of dirty fluid where it looks as its been leaking (i've been topping it up).. i'm putting the car on the hoist tommorow to check the suspension anyway, so while i'm there i'm going to drain the ps fluid and check all the hoses

The sleeve which is called a rack boot does not seal the fluid.

The rack seal stops fluid coming out of the housing. If there is any fluid inside that boot then the seal is broken. The boot only stops dirt from getting inside to where the seal is.

    • Hi, We've all posted some thread, or know of some other person's thread, that contains information that we want to send people who are asking question to. But if we don't have a link readily available, have to go do a search for the thread before being able to do so. So, it occurred to me that we could possibly utilise the auto-text-replace function that fixes some of my swear words to perhaps auto replace some special keywords with text that also has a link to the thread. A specific example. The thread that I did with the improved R32 GTR wiring diagram scans. If the phrase "R32 GTR wiring diagram" could be auto replaced with "R32 GTR wiring diagram" then all I (or @Duncan, or any of the others that refer to the thread) need to do is remember that that's the keyword (or phrase in this case). OK, it would be better if this keyphrase wasn't that long, but it does need to be specific enough that it doesn't get triggered automatically. And obviously there are threads on turbo topics, or suspension topics that we could treat similarly. Alternatively (and/or additionally), I've been thinking about trying to build a library of the real expert content that is trapped in the bowels of the 25odd years of this site. Things like some of SydneyKid's content. There are threads that he started that should be more easily found, and he has individual posts, or series of posts, in other people's threads, containing very good information. Some of us know that it is there, but....just have no memory of exactly where/when/how we saw it. If we had some sort of library thread, we could put posts in there containing links to things we've found, suggestions for how to categorise it, then a mod or other appointed thread maintainer can copy the link and any key text up into the first post in the library thread. There are probably many other ways to get it done. Some sort of wiki is probably the best way.   Thoughts?
    • But, probably that happened to the last person too, which is why the RTV was there.....if you aren't putting a new gasket in you will need to seal the old gasket back to the metal surface with something, the gaskets will generally only work properly for a single use as they set/harden in that shape
    • What is with the horrible blue and white bit in the centre of the wheels, didn't that come off with some scrubbing?
    • Not sure how broadly you define Northside  but Castle Hill Exhaust are still around and could sort it.
    • I haven't done this as I still use the factory cluster, but I do know the circuits for the flash vs on for hi beam are separate which is likely the issue. The ON runs full power through the switch and the flash uses the relay in the engine bay. I'd hit the wiring diagram per GTSBoy's suggestion
