Project NashZilla: R32 GT-T NEO

it's a thinner pulley which comes with its own belt.

I can confirm that, just did a Rb25 swap in buddies car, pump pulley is thinner. It will clear.

the pulley will still be in the same spot. otherwise it wouldnt line up with crank pulley. im gonna use an MR2 pump.

[M13]

btw, I have an rb25 PS pump that is small enough to get in there and still give you PS. Best part? BOLT-IN.



PM me if you want it.

thats a pretty nice car and great job on the rebuild!
i am also thinking about a rebuild of my RB20 but also to my RB26.

Nice man, Looks like you got gauges on lockdown and your engine is geting watched properly. I like it.

[mightyrocker]

Wow! Have not seen any of this thread until now. Looks amazing!!

[amnash]

got the power steering pump out and rad fits in fine now,


installed AEM wideband that i got for xmas today, this is where i had the bung welded;




wired the gauges so they light up when headlights are turned on with a dimmer

From what I understand, HICAS ECU controls a solenoid on front steering rack that controls power steering weight as speed increases.

Could fit an old hydraulic type powersteering setup from an older Nissan that increases pressure with speed???? Or maybe a non HICAS R32 powersteering rack, smaller length non HICAS powersteering pump, etc???

This article mentions that you can run a older hydraulic or modern electrical powersteering setup -

Also can modify electrical powersteering setup weight with a device you can buy.

I had to make it a pusher so that it cleaner the ps lines. So it was mounted on the other side of the rad. Its better then noting/ geting rid of the setup. Its an option I'm saying.

Depends on the kind of $$ your working with.

[amnash]

ive drove it without PS hooked up. nothing i want to get used to.. ya i dont want to use another fan setup. this one is pure sex lol
why run 1 pusher 1 puller??

[Supraclean]

I'd say ask M13 and don't run a PS pump at all:P

Yea allot of people run into the same problem. I ended up mounting one fan as a pusher/ and one as a puller fan. I don't have the mishimoto setup but same deal. If you run one big flex-i-lite fan with controller that works 2.

[amnash]

assembled the fan shroud to the rad today and installed it:





theres not enough clearance with the p/s pump in there:





i could just remove the fans and have one big electric fan..but i like this set up to much. so im going to run a electric power steering pump out of a toyota MRII. havn't done much research on it yet but it should be fairly simple. if anyone has any experiance or has found any good threads on running electrical p/s systems in the r32 post it up

been to busy with car/work/exams to feed myself lol steady diet of mcdicks at the moment.

Wow, just wow. LOL.

so its been 6 months. car is running well with only a rough idle. put a driving permit on it for yesterday and today to get the engine broken in a little and to stretch her legs(its been over a year since on the road). man what a fun day this has been.
first thing to do was give it a good wash. had been outside collecting dirt for a year.
