the return flow one is the one you want it requires less mods to fit as it uses the standard engine bay piping (looks more steath too). but i hear the bracket for the cooler mount is crap, no biggie though easy to make one up.

or one of these

dont really want to cut much of my car and maybe keep my driving lights

Any advice?

no matter which way u go ur going to have to make some mods, though the second one will not

require any cutting under battery.

depending on what bar u have u may need to cut and trim...

i went with the type 1, and i had to trim alot of my bar, as long as cut the hole for piping, and

trim back the rio...

so i went from this -

to this -

you can see where the rio was cut here -

and finally to this -

ive since made some proper brackets for the numberplate instead of cable ties...

at the end of the day its up to you which way u wanna go, i wasnt really fussed about my extra lights,

and i had to chop out the middle where the number plate was anyway otherwise more than 50% of the

cooler would be blocked....

hope this helps

Ive got one of the return flow ones (first link). It wasn't a direct bolt on, the cooler mounting brackets they supplied werent the best, i had to customise them a bit. you'll also have to trim the reo bar. The pipe work supplied was good though.

My ARC FMIC is a return flow setup, same as the Just Jap ones. I didn't want to cut through the battery areaa agaain in my Stagea like I had to in my S13. At least I should only need to cut my reo bar.

    • I have done smoke test and can’t see any leak on high or low side.   checked pump and fluid can flow through. Removed the high pressure from steering and did smoke test and same on low side, no leak.   puzzled. Thinking why if it was all ok it suddenly went as car was off road for a year. Don’t want to disassemble pump yet as i can see fluid / air( compressor) can flow through with no issues
    • Which manifold mate? Meanwhile......Mark is wondering how bonnet vents would look on the NC 🤣
    • Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together. 
    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
