4 skylines now and all 4 have had the same pipe leak... Its the main pipe under the power steering bottle... Its like 3/4 inch....

On my previous skylines i have not bothered in fixing it as it leaked one drip a week or so... but i just cracked this one this afternoon....

I have called a million phone numbers to only find universal pipes.... I need to know if anyone know where to get one other than nissan as they want get this ($130).....

Its a bit of high pressure hose bent in a few places....

I was looking at this hose today when I had the turbo out.

Mine too is leaking. :)

I think a straight piece of hose will work perfectly, cut it the same length obviously and the bend it down slightly, it will hold its position due to where it connects either end.

The other hoses can be replaced with straight hose also, the trick is to remove the protective rubber outer from the old hose and slide it over the new. This will mould the hose to suit that shape. It should work, pwr steer hose is quite a bit stiffer than the old heater hose. :P

I bought some hose from pirtek recently. Its suprisingly flexy without crimping. The prior stuff I bought from an auto trans place, that was really stiff and kinked easily.

In the 32's I 'think' the straight pipe will suffice. Won't know until I replace it. :P

Ill try pirtek today and see if they have a flexiable high pressure pipe that wont crimp.... If so then i will buy....

I just want to fix it today before cruising tonight.... I also have a sponge zip tied over the bov so i dont get in trouble for that either....

    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!

    • When you say basic rebuild, you mean an oem rebuild?
