Anyone have any tips on replacing the high pressure PS line on a R32 GTR? Mine started leaking and got a new one but can not for the life of me figure out how to get the old one off. I took the sway bar off and disconnected the steering shaft but can not figure out how to get the end that connects to the rack out. I did not want to cut the old one off cause if I can not get the old one off I am sure I will not be able to get the new one on.

Got a pic of the fitting you are having trouble with? Everything unbolts so it is likely just being difficult.

Plenty of penetrating oil followed by a little carefully directed heat will usually do the trick

I got everything unbolted. I just can not maneuver the line out. It is the part from the sensor to the rack and pinion I am having difficulties with. It has the J shaped end and I am not seeing how it can come out.

So, you've got the tube nuts B and C undone, and you can't get the HP line to come out of the rack? You will have to release it from the various bracket/clamps that attach it to the subframe to you can get enough wiggle.

I have B and C unbolted. I have the line out of the rack and pinion but how and the heck do I get the C end out between the body and engine? I am working on my stock 91 GTR. So it have everything in the way. I did not know if there was something else I need to remove to pull the line out. I am attempting to pull the line towards the front. Everything is still in the car, engine and all. I was hoping the line could be replaced without removing too much, but I search for about a week and could not find any info on how to do it. So I just started removing it hoping I would see the way. All brackets for the line are removed and both ends undone. Just can not figure out how to fish the line between where the sensor is and the C end. I appreciate all the help and after spending an hours staring at and trying to search the topic it I figured I would ask you guys

hahah yeah I have only done it with either the engine out or the subframe on the floor.

Assuming you are replacing it, just cut it near where it changes direction. If you are getting one remade from yours, draw a line across where you are going to cut it, so you end up with a marking you can line up again after when it is remade.

That was what I was afraid of that it might only be possible with the engine out or at least lifted up. I have a new line from Nissan but not seeing how it will be possible to get the old one out and the new one in. Maybe after a few drinks I will figure something out. Might try removing motor mounts and lifting the engine a bit to get some more clearance. There are just a few weird bends in the line that make it impossible to feed through the openings.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov

      That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu.

      Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
