Start the engine, grab a hose and lightly start spraying water on and around all belts/pullies and see if noise changes/stops.

Finally managed to do this the other day - noise stops for a second then continues.

Quick q - does the cas on a series 2 require the cas seal?

kind of, in the seal are 3 brass standoffs, they space the cas out the correct distance to stop you loading up the thing and breaking it

When the noise stopped for a second, where were you squirting the water ?

With engine off see if you can twist a A/C, PS or Alt belt more than 90degress with one hand. If you can, tighten it up. It May also be too tight and back off a touch if necessary.

Can you isolate it to a single belt perhaps ? Using a glass of water just slowly dribble it onto 1 belt and listen for change. If no change, move to next belt.

So, took it to the mechanic - needed brakes done - and they said the noise may be power steering needing a flush, either that or its the pump. Tightened belts a little but noise still there. Now to research how to DIY power steer flush...

Have you tried yet what I mentioned earlier about narrowing down which belt made the noise ? Get a plastic drink bottle and drill a small hole in the lid. Just do one belt/ pulley at a time and wait 20 seconds before trying next belt. You know the sound went away when you hosed the belts. How can this then be caused by PS fluid ? ones internal, the other is external.

Did you twist the belts and see how far they twisted ?

      R34 power steering

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
