Hicas Leaking

[drewecrome]

Hey guys i have recently purchased my second r32 gtr which i have noticed has a Hicas lock bar. I noticed the other day on my driveway that i had a small oil leak which seemed to be coming from the rear of the car, so i jumped underneath and found the two power steering lines which usually feed the Hicas system are leaking. They are used what it looks to be 2x Banjo fittings to block them off, so i was wondering should i try resealing them with the current setup or should i try something different? My first plan was to get braided oil line with the correct fittings at each end made up and just continuesly run the fluid rather than try blocking them off. Second thought was to trace lines back to pump and block off at either pump or as far back as possible. Has anyone done something similar or could possibly shed some light on situation.

Cheers Drewe

man rip the whole system out from the front of the car

block off the 2nd banjo on the p/s pump, and block off the line from the p/s reservior then yeah, rip everything out

when your done your car will be like 50kg lighter
