Powersteering Rack Question R32 HCR32

[R324u]

Trying to get some info on the attached picture, Noticed my line from the steering that feeds the rack is bent ( short line), looking to replace it with an fittings if possible i believe the one side with banjo is m14x1.50 not 100% sure what the rack would be. I noticed the part is discontinued any help would be appreciated.

Oddly enough, there parts are no longer discontinued.  Nismo have them in the R32 GTR Heritage parts list - rmanufactured.

[R324u]

Thanks for the reply much appreciated, I checked it out  not seeing that specific part available, there is some reproduced parts but just not this one.

I don’t think that’s what I need, it’s the small line that feeds the rack. I could be wrong but this is best picture I have at the moment. 

[GTSBoy]

Yuh, it's the small rubber line in that whole assembly.

Just go to a hose doctor like ENZED,  Hydraulink or Pirtek  or whoever you have in your town and they'll make you one.

Here, have a better picture.

Got it on my bench right now (GTR model, just assume it's the same). I'll look at it tomorrow and get back with thread/pitch for the rack-side of the banjo pipe

Both sides of the banjo pipe are M12x1.0 on the BNR32 rack

Kinda thread jack here for a second but does anyone else get overflow from their PS reservoir

Yes common on the track - need a better cooler in the system - stock is pretty rudimentary.

Idk about previous owner but in my year of owning my r32 it’s never been on the track. But I have seen some spillage from either the reservoir cap or one of the hoses. 

[GTSBoy]

Obviously the cap has a seal, and if the seal isn't sealing......

Equally, the big hose on the res is on the hot side of the engine bay, so can get brittle with age and crack.  Let's the red stuff out there too.

FWIW, my R32 has never spilled any from the res.  I replaced all the hoses about 5 years ago when I did an engine transplant though, so it's not like it should leak!

No it's not. The feed goes from res to pump. That's a return line.

Have you got the line that used to go into it?

[notoriousnismo]

no i dont have the original line. i have a astra p/s pump that in using and also a oil coolwr as its for a drift car. i have the correct size for tge hole just below it just not the circled one

You can get the fittings off "Chase Bays" who are an American company.  Pretty sure it's this one - https://www.chasebays.com/collections/an-fittings/products/14mm-power-steering-adapter-low-o-ring-fitting.  The fitting is cheap, the postage is stupid....

They've actually got some really cool stuff on there.

I just cut the end off my old one and welded on a 'weld on' AN fitting to it.  You might be able to get a pipe cheap from a wreckers?

 

Another option - https://www.streetweapons.net/products/s-chassis-power-steering-rack-an-conversion-fittings

 

 

[notoriousnismo]

Thanks for that, do you know if it's 1.25 or 1.5 thread pitch?

[Shoota_77]

This is mine that I've made up, looks like pretty coarse thread so I'd say it's 1.5mm

 

I can check it when I get home from work in a few hours.
