Power Steering Pipe

[Col-GTSX]

4 skylines now and all 4 have had the same pipe leak... Its the main pipe under the power steering bottle... Its like 3/4 inch....

On my previous skylines i have not bothered in fixing it as it leaked one drip a week or so... but i just cracked this one this afternoon....

I have called a million phone numbers to only find universal pipes.... I need to know if anyone know where to get one other than nissan as they want get this ($130).....

Its a bit of high pressure hose bent in a few places....

Anyone????

I was looking at this hose today when I had the turbo out.

Mine too is leaking.

I think a straight piece of hose will work perfectly, cut it the same length obviously and the bend it down slightly, it will hold its position due to where it connects either end.

The other hoses can be replaced with straight hose also, the trick is to remove the protective rubber outer from the old hose and slide it over the new. This will mould the hose to suit that shape. It should work, pwr steer hose is quite a bit stiffer than the old heater hose.

if you want genuine pipes be prepared to pay genuine prices.

Cubes.... If you use straight hose it will bend and crimp on the r33.... It is just too tight a bend to make it work....

Evan if you have nothing constructive to say dont say it...

I bought some hose from pirtek recently. Its suprisingly flexy without crimping. The prior stuff I bought from an auto trans place, that was really stiff and kinked easily.

In the 32's I 'think' the straight pipe will suffice. Won't know until I replace it.

Ill try pirtek today and see if they have a flexiable high pressure pipe that wont crimp.... If so then i will buy....

I just want to fix it today before cruising tonight.... I also have a sponge zip tied over the bov so i dont get in trouble for that either....
