Dude, you don't need to create a new thread exactly the same as one you posted in this morning.

And no there isn't a specific PSF that you have to use for your car.

I recommend Penrite Power Steering Fluid, about $9 for 500mL that can be bought from Autobarn. Or just get Penrite ATF Top-Up which is the exact same stuff for $10 for 1L.

You need to use special imported power steering fluid. It's refined in Japan by the government to use in military-experimental aircraft, but you should be able to import some with forged documents.

Failing this, I use the Castrol stuff from the local autoone. ;op

hey guys...

thanks for the replys....

baught the AFT top-up, 10 fini.

IS there any way of bleeding the fluid and how to.... coz id prefer to have the new good stuff flowing around.

and im sooooo sorry mr PHATR32 for taking up too much of your precious time, and im also sorry for failing to appreciate GODs abilities.

You could try the rack, there's prolly a bleeder or hose you can pull off there. I'm not sure if you'd have to bleed the system after that. (or if you can)

Check the hoses for the powersteering too, on the drivers side when you look down past the oil filter. R33's commonly leak there. (mine does).

ok, sounds a bit better than ripping off the bottle... kicking it around till the fluid has all gone and then fill it up again...

i might have a look around tomorrow!

thanks for the help!

You can pull off the return hose somewhere near the resevoir and allow it to empty into a bottle.. Just trying to rememeber the setup though. You can keep adding fluid so you keep it topped up and see clear stuff coming through the return hose. Once clear connect back up..
