Dont know where to type this, but im freaking the **** out.

So i went and did some dougnuts, just 3. After, it starting driving weird, idles at .500 rather then the normal .750 it has a loud sound of like um...bogging up and down,...power steering is real hard when turning froma stop, but when driving it's easier except for when turning all the way like doing a U turn. Also, after getting out of the car, my cat convertor was glowing red/orange. Now half of the ac compressor/fan belt is missing, which shouldnt be causing this, what could it be?

Please help,Stock 93 240sx se w/super hicas

PS pump is on its way out? Causing a parasitic lag on the idle, tearing the belt up.

The ac compressor and fan belt are different. EXACTLY which belt is damaged, it may be the PS.

Super Hicas= heavy load on PS pump.Dounuts = More load on ps pump.

It is the belt that connects to the fan.

ur cat is blown if its glowing red. start it after it cool off and if it runs fine till it heats up, theres ur problem. the pwr steering is weird... check ur fluid lvls and rev the motor to 2000 and try and turn it. still hard? pumps shot or racks binding up. or u have no fluid.
