hey guys. on my series 2 25det which has a 20detpump on it, lastnight my mate poured brake fluid dot4 into my powersteering resevoir, he put in about half a glass or so in there..?
i was pretty sure that wasnt okay and has been told today that its definitely a no go? i disconnected the hoses from the p.s reservoir today and drained the reservoir. how do i flush out the rest of the powersteering system? hoses/pump etc.. i dont have any p.s fluid or anything and also we havent started the car while the dot4 fluid has been in either, will my pump still be okay? but yes please help obviously im not no mechanic so bare with me, thanks alot.

I would slap mate and then use a syringe (big one) to sick reservoir dry.

Seeing as you didn't start it it wouldn't have gone far, but to be sure I would disconnect lines off the rack and pour fluid into reservoir flushing the lines.

Then I would slap mate again

i disconnected hoses from resoivoir and cleaned out the resoivoir thoroughly, so reconnect reservoir. disconnect lines from rack then poor normal p.s fluid through it and thats it? and yea then a few slaps lol, cheers for the reply btw dude

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
