Skyline R32 Steering problems

[Famous jh]

be twice the job ti fire in a rack from a 180 get one for bout 60-70 euro i think i may even have one here, it will work with the r32 pipes and take the back off the r32 twin port power steering pump take out all the veins in the rear pump put it back together and get a solid bolt insted of the banjo and block it up, that way you can remove all that big mess off the drivers side chassis leg and lines running to the rear as well as all the wireing all together id deffo say you can do away with about half a tonne weight!!!!!

Mr Quealy! Your up!! You've all the hard work done already, all you need is a RACK! Story of your life really....FYL

Is the 180 jobbie a direct fit gem? Its a much better way of doing it to be fair!

if i have a rack out lad be 60 i deffo have one in a car but be 70 if iv to take it out ill have a root around moro, also you can bolt on the rear section of a sr20 pump to the main body of the rb20 pupm that just saves having to block the second outlet for the rear hicas

Just an small update here, myself and marty went dicking around with racks this evening in the missile 32, that solenoid valve that gem was talking about was the problem like he said it would be. Running power direct to the solenoid works, but what we did was remove the solenoid from the valve and jammed an m6 nut between it and the plunger in the valve. Effectively holding the valve shut. Job done. Nice light steering again. Had the car up to 100mph on bumpy enough roads and it was grand, no stability issues!


Changing the rack is prob the best fix in the long run, but this is a handy quick fix if anyone gets stuck with it again

That's handy to know, I knew that solenoid effects the lightness of the steering "depending on speed" but didn't know it was possible to mechanically adjust the weight of the steering.
I hate light steering

Yea you didn't see any melted pistons or bits of engine on the road either, thats why! Quealy live mapping isn't proven enough for that stuff yet, but i was tempted let me tell ya!!
