Hey all,

Just looking for some recommendations on where to take my R32t to have it's power steering inspected and repaired (may need new rack/pump recoed) - preferably in the SE suburbs.

I'd like to take it somewhere that works on imports and as such will be familiar with the p/s system and also knows where to get parts at reasonable prices etc.

Thanks!

Thanks for responses guys! I'll also be interested to see what you come up with R31Nismoid.

Mine doesn't seem quite that terminal as yet - feels a bit vague every so often and after driving for around an hour, I find that low speed full-lock turning (parking building style) feels lumpy like the pump is struggling to provide power assistance and the rack sometimes groans loudly while doing so! Doesn't display these symptoms when the car is cold however....

I drive around 500km a week though, so I'd like it to remain reliable...hence - fix the problem before it becomes a big problem!

damn dude, go any further back and you'd be talking to Jeebus

i had rack binding issues when on the track, but this was remedied via a p/s fluid flush followed by some top notch Castrol Transmax Z - $$ stuff, but completely smoothed out my issues on the track. The p/s fluid was black as anything when removed, probably cooked at prev driver days/track days. And yes, it's fine for p/s fluid despite what the monkeys at Autoshack/China cheap auto tell you

National Power steering in Dandenong, they are who i used 2 years ago

They did a brilliant reco on my rack and P/S Pump ;)

Is this the address?

National Power Steering

# 111 Box St Dandenong 3175

# (03) 9792 4430

Happen to know a rough price on reco of rack and pump?

Cheers

Patrick

    • Welcome!  How long have you had it? And what colour is it?
    • "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about  
    • Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .
    • Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?
    • Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
