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..

      Big Brake Kit for ECR33

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      What are you doing with the car? Drags, sprints, racing? A decent upgrade of dba 4000 rotors, good quality pads (endless, project mu, intima are all I have used), quality fluid and braided lines. All have held up to multiple big track days and street duties. No need for big fancy kits as some also require significant energy to come upto operating temp. Look at 350z caliper and rotor upgrade too.  @Dose Pipe Sutututu comment on them and did a good write up.

      I've driven that one and it's a great deal and drives nice. The owner definitely treats it right on track. You would have gotten it for what you paid for this one too.   Keen to see what you do to this one.

      Front Tyres on R34 GTR, fitment, etc, *question*

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I have a question with regards to R34 GTR guards. All the info here is quite old. Useful, but old. At what point does the bumper itself become a clearance issue with wide wheels on a R34 GTR, specifically the part I've drawn in red here: All of the info that people post about implies that 285 is as far as you'd go before scrubbing becomes an issue, but they speak of hitting the inner plastic liners, not the bumper itself. Just how wide could you go if you took the liners out? Has anyone done it? I have been messing with my own car and spacers and heavily cursed my lack of planning, but I might not feel so bad if there's actually no gains to be had by going a GTR guard and front bar combination for $5k+ of money I do not have after spending about that much already on my solution which now has problems. (Woo) At least I now know why GTR guards and bumpers flare out like this over their GTT lesser cousins. I feel that in 2024, someone has gone further and attempted to run 315's or somesuch on the front of a R34 GTR. If you have, please post. If you're tried and failed for some other reason definitely post so I feel better about my mistakes

      URAS Type R R34 GT GTT Widebody Front Guards

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Genuine URAS Type R front guards in FRP. These will fit a GTT. They will only fit a GTT. If you have a GT or GTT and want wider fenders with a Z tune look up top, this is what you want. You use this with a regular GTT fitment bar. Not a GTR bar. They fit GTT guard liners and plastics, not GTR items. So if you're reading this thinking "Ah! I have a GTT or GT and want wider front guards that bolt directly on, but do not want the hassle of changing my bonnet and bumper and plastics and undertrays or anything else, this is what you want. The fitment is annoyingly perfect. I really would rather someone pick these up in person and not ship them. SE Melb.
