Hi All,

I am experiencing a leak from a repaired (not by me) power steering hose line which comes directly out of the power steering pump and does a U-turn.

Attached is a part diagram to describe the issue, and also a picture of the leak. The green shows the joiner which I believe was a repair job attempted previously, liquid is leaking from the bottom of this. Above the join is another, much smaller leak from a split in the hose. Essentially, the hose is getting old.

Is it possible to get this hose replaced without ripping out the entire system? I have no clue how I would remove this hose, or if this is at all possible. Can I repair it in-situ?

You need to do the required disassembly to get that hose all the way out (turbo in & out pipes, probably radiator shroud, possibly radiator, definitely undertray, etc). The repair process from there would be to take it to a hydraulics/hose place and get them to do what needs to be done. Would involve new swaged connections, new hose.

@Bman1296 - How'd you end up with this? Just noticed the exact same thing on mine. 

 

Cheers! 

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I had to take off the entire part with hose attached, one end going into the banjo joint on the power steering pump and the other part going all the way around to the steering rack. Bit annoying but did it with a bit of flexing under my jacked up car. Then took the whole thing to Pirtek and they put the new hose on. Then reinstalled it.

      Short shifter r34

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
