I've developed a leak in the rubber section of one of the high pressure power steering lines in my 34, (outlet from the pump?) the hose looks to be crimped to hard lines, when looking to get a OEM replacement it seems that these section of lines come as a a whole unit (FAST has the hard lines and rubber section as one part number) - i like to try and retain OEM parts when possible but the cost is extremely high for these.

Wondering what others have done when replacing this rubber section of hose!

Thanks all

Hi mate,

I had the same issue.. If i remember correctly the high pressure hoses come as a complete set and was something like $1000 or so new at Nissan..

Mine was leaking that bad after two days of driving my PS reservoir was almost empty.. I ended up getting the pump and hose out of the car and got my pump rebuilt from the local power steering expert for about $250. The only reason I did this was the reservoir got too empty for my liking so I rebuilt it to be on the safe side.

Then i got the local Enzed mobile hose repairer to come to my place and he repaired/rebuilt the hose on the spot in his work van and that was around $150!

Pirtek can also do the job if you are no where near a local enzed dealer.. So all up I got the power steering system overhauled for $400 inc a rebuilt PS Pump. Much better then $1000 and no service on my pump if you ask me!

If you plan on doing the job yourself make sure you bleed all the air from the PS system well once you have reinstalled and topped the system back up.

Cheers Pete..

      Gtr r32 tank leaking: can I use stagea whc34 tank

      By Duncan · Posted

      Is WHC34 a 2 wheel drive Stagea?  4wd Stagea 100% fits, and I'd say 99% sure 2wd will too....they just used the GTR setup as that best suited the wagon floor. BTW I hope you saw Brett's post about potential reasons for a leak, unless you can see the plastic cracked somewhere, it is unlikely to be the tank itself leaking.  Can you see fuel dripping or is it just a smell when you park? Have you had any of the tank/pump holder apart?

      They did get back to me. First response is from the mechanic that did the work. The problem is that the information that followed wasn't in the original report, which again, I let car inspect know should have been provided and influenced my decision to buy. Ball is back in their court and they have 5 more days to respond.  The actual structural damage was not a complete write off as they had me originally believe.  It just needed to be corrected properly and cleanly as opposed to the botch job of whoever did it last on the rad support and undercarriage. Smoothed out the scrappy welds and did it properly plus painted.

      Haven't updated this is a while. -5 speed conversion is done. Then center console, parking brake handle, and mounting bracket can be adapted from a R34 since the S2 parts are all disco. Console is a slightly different grain pattern and color but works fine. R33/ R34 GTS (no booster) clutch pedal works as well as the matching master cylinder. Wiring is simple, jump the starter connector at the fuse box, note which wires are connected at which position on the auto neutral safety switch and cut off the switch harness and connect to the corresponding switch on the 5 speed. -Rear R34 rear subframe swap is completed. Full Nismo arm set, 2-way LSD set up soft, 322mm Brembo brakes, Ohlins Flag-R coil overs (need to drop the spring rate 1Kg) -RB swap is under way. HKS Step 2 High Response 2.8 BCD stroker kit / Step 2 V-Cam / GTIII 4R Kit I may not use the 4R kit but not sure yet as I've seen some pretty decent dyno sheets on it and it doesn't spool as slow as people think when you have v-cam. I have the wiring manual for the car and a spare 260RS harness so the wiring shouldn't be that bad but I just haven't had the time to invest in it. If anyone has a suggestion for someone who can handle it let me know! I have a bunch of spare 5mt swap parts and some Nismo 580 turbos if anyone needs/wants them hit me up. Located in California but willing to ship. As always, thanks to all the members who have answered my questions and helped this project keep moving!

      Did Car Inspect get back to you? How bad was the actual "structural" damage? What front surgery was required?
