GIXXERUK Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 check the belt on the power steering and the power steering fluid level Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 You got enough steering fluid in the car? Whatever it is at least its going in for some work and the garage should be able to have a look, I suppose thats if you can get it there...... I think you will have trouble diagnosing this on line and at 10.30 on a sunday night, but good luck... Quote
kashz Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 fluid is spot on i have had it diagnosed 30 mins ago on the machine........ belt is spot on when i turn the wheel whilst revving it makes a whining noise from the rack Quote
GIXXERUK Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 take the cap off and turn the steering lock to lock. with the engine running, holding it on lock and look for bubbles in the fluid, this will bleed the system of air Quote

kashz Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 i read up on 350z tech someone else had the same problem and a few searches on google .... its always occurs straight after a few constant donuts ...... Quote
kashz Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 wont make the same mistake twice one expensive burnout as i have had to purchase a new pump now as the other one was shatterd and un repairable ... £490 for a bloody pump Quote
