The steering is active, so it’s uses input from the speed sensor. If the speedometer fails to work it will stop the power assist steering. You car being an import will likely have a speed converter behind the dash, loose connection here on this circuit will be the cause. You tapping probably remade the connection. Also the speed sensor on the gearbox can pop out the end, be loose, simply slowly down and speeding back up it can kick back to life.

Spotted a very nice looking blue 300zx on the King's Road about 40 minutes ago.
It was dark but I think it had 99 spec rear lights and spoiler with 5 spoke wheels.
Saw a gentleman trying to get inside...I think his missus locked him out [emoji12]
I would of stopped to say hello but unfortunately I was driving the bus lol
