Any automotive store will do them. Nissan is overpriced on a lot of items unless your getting the parts for cost.

Just go to a repco/ autopro/ autobahn even a workshop and they will be able to help you out. Most workshops will have it there for reasonable prices.

$123 for the pair, is that unreasonable? Could be a lot worse, I paid more than that for genuine radiator hoses.

You could try regular straight pwr steer hose if the bends are not too tight.

If it were me i'd buy the nissan hoses.

powersteer hoses dont really need the specific bends they have, but the sizes of generic dont exactly match with the nissan piping. but can be done easily

remove your old hose - go to enzed pirtek and get them to match the internal dimensions of the existing hoses.

Sounds like your local auto stores are dropkicks. I have purchased these hoses from them before - unless "city" stores don't stock piping nor order it in.

Do as Craved said. Or alternativly take the piping into a workshop and get them to match some up.

Does anyone know the ID of the Power steering hoses on a R33 gtst? and can they be replaced with braided teflon lines? I'll have a lot of AN8, 16 and 20 left over from my set up and I'll have to relocate the p/s bottle near the rad support if I can use the left over braided stuff that would be great.

from memory the larger hose is close to -10

the smaller one, might be -8 ish, but i think its smaller than that.

and you'll want it close too since braid line wont compress as much as straight rubber.

Some PS systems can see 800-1000psi, most of the braids are around 1500psi burst pressure. I don't think AN braid hose fittings will take that though. I believed that you need fittings crimped on professionally, like brake lines.

If your simply moving the PS reservoir though and are talking the vacuum pump feed, and (slightly) pressurized return lines, AN fittings would be well fine.

I'm not bumping this thread to be a jackass, It's just I'm having difficulty finding the exact sizes of the fittings/Thread type for the power steering system in the R34.  Specific to the R34GTT.    I can make my own hoses, but need to know all of the fittings so I can make a custom power steering system (similar to the circuit sports kit they sell for S chassis)  

When I search for the thread/fitting information, I get threads like this from way back in the day.     I admire forums, but it would be nice if things were run a little better, much like the Subaru forums where they have indexes that pop up in search engines first instead of a bunch of dummies (like myself) asking questions.  

Can someone point me to the correct information, or state it here for future generations.  Once these cars become legal in the US you admin are going to have a lot of repeat questions.  

Thanks for any help.

Also, if you want to save money working on future project cars;  the Kool Tools hose/vice/kit/thingy is amazing.  I made all my turbo lines using these vice-friendly devices.    It allows you to easily put in a vice and install your hose into fittings.

More Specific, I'm looking to find an AN fitting for what's in the circle, and also for that other hose.   If anyone makes a kit, cool, but otherwise, I'd like to know how I can get a -10 directly on the pump.

Then follow the advice therein to look into the 490 series hose and fittings. If there is no fitting available from that source (Speedflow, I think) then there is probably nothing. In which case your options narrow down to trying to TIG an AN end onto the end of the Nissan fitting, or remaking that fitting in steel (I mean outright fabrication which is not actually that hard if you've got access to the right metalworking gear) and making the new fitting have a male BSP or NPT thread on it so you can simply screw an AN fitting on.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
