Hi guys, just wondering if anybody has relocated their Power steering reservoir in the engine bay on a R32 GTR.

Basically i installed a big single turbo and the pipe that joins to the intercooler piping fouls with the P/S tank.

Theres not much room for me to relocate it as the Tank itself is quite tall and fouls with my bonnet.

The only place i can see that is suitable is where my charcoal canister is but then i need to find a place for that to go.

So my question is. Where can i move the P/S tank to?

Can i cut the tank down in size and reweld it?

Can i get a tank custom made out of aluminium?

ANy help would be appreciated thanks

yes...custom tank out of ally can be made. Ive mounted mine on the radiator support panel just behind the passenger headlight.

Is there any criteria you need to meet when fabricating?

As in do you need to meet a certain capacity (litres) etc, and or design it in any special way with chambers etc.

Have you got a pic of where yours is mounted?

Thanks heaps.

there are some pre made aftermarket ones available - Felixity69 in the rb30 subforum used one.

i have seen customs made up, i would just baffle it to ensure that the feed to the pump is always covered in fluid, or you'll get major bleeding issues.

    • I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side
    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.
