Full Rebuild of my R34 Skyline Power Steering Rack

TBR - Ep. 068 - Racking up Wins (Nisemono - 1998 R34 Nissan Skyline GTR - Episode 005)
Have been putting this one off because I knew it wasn't going to be a simple one, and there's just not enough R34 specific info on the line about how to do these. So now there's at least one video to help you through it - enjoy!

I didn't miss a minute of this episode although I don't even have an R34! 😁Great job as always, and kudos on persevering through the hurdles. Can't wait for the Celica content! 👍

Helpful video, just done my rack. You don’t need a tool to get the seal out though, you can knock it out from the pinion side with a socket and extension 🤙🏻

Wow. . .I am going through it with the rack and pinion on my Gen 3 4 Runner! I just went the way of the Replacement unit!! Looks like I dodged the wild rebuild route!! You are brave to take this bad boy on!! Glad you are back!!

Great work and nice videos. Thanks a lot for the series. I had an R34 25GT myself in red between 2010 and 2014, right before I got myself a black 25GTT. I did some work on them myself as well, belts, plugs, injectors etc. My steering rack is currently leaking at a rate of the cylinder going from high to low measure in about 30k km, so I will not be rebuilding it anytime soon, but when I will your video is going to come in handy for sure. Thanks a lot!

Awesome video. Very informative. Kudos for you attempting this. Looks stressful 😅

I have been looking for the dental floss!

great walkthrough. i'd have used a low viscosity grease for closed gears (EP/NGLI 0 or 0,5). EP/NGLI 2 squeezes out of the gears and they can end up running dry, also marginally increases friction in the system. another tip is to put the seatbelt through the steering wheel so it doesn't move off centre.

So where did you source the upper pinion gear seal? part #? need to replace exact same seal on 2015 Q50 V37

[@sjgoff]

Great video! I should have rebuilt the rack in my S13 instead of replacing it...

[@ralph5476]

Many thanks for this informative video. Would a suitable sized socket + extension in the rear end push out the recalcitrant seal?

[@repairstudios6748]

When installing pinion gear, do I have to adjust the fluid holes or not? or it can be installed directly without considering the fluid path

Hey great video. I don't really have the space, equipment or knoweldge on rebuilding a rack. But i bought one off ebay and while it does not leak it makes a bunch of noises and pops, and it makes that thumping noise when you turn the steeringwheel left/right very fast. I took it off my car and put the original one back on as they both seemed similarly worn The ebay seller let me keep the rack for free when i tried to return it. Since then though my rack has developed some play on the rod part and a clicking noise and starting to cause weird suspension problems. I was thinking of taking my ebay one to a rack rebuilding shop. I was wondering if the issues I mentioned would fix this rack since there is no leaking issues. Or will changing all these parts make it function like a new rack?

[@howardrathbone2120]

How about using an electrical conduit, which is plastic, and push the seal out from the other side? Would that work? How long did the rebuild take approximately I have a leaking 350z steering rack I’m thinking of rebuilding?

[@MikeyGTR]

Which sealant did you use for the adjuster?? Great video by the way 👌

[@drnc8770]

Where is the solenoid on your ps rack? I have an r34 gtt and my rack has a solenoid on it.. What is the difference between the 2 racks?

[@howardrathbone2120]

Hi, did the pinion seals come in the pspa kit?

[@jcgarcia4575]

Stupid ways to fix rack and pinion, time consuming

We need new 34 videos.
