Steve, when you did your swap did you take the PS pump and line from the CA18 clip?
I don't understand how your set up could be any different than the KA/SR one?


After doing some research I found this DIY thread from NJTuners.com:

an lines for the 240sx power steering and relocation - NJTuners.com

so the thread size of the high pressure lines appear to be 16 x 1.50 on both ends.
There's a Mr. Hose near my work, I plan on stopping by and seeing how
much it would cost me to just have the line made.

Thanks for the link, that really helped.

High pressure:
(2 ft.) 130606ERL -6AN Power Steering Hose (blue Hose)
(2) 139106ERL 90degree -6AN Hose Fitting, Steel, zinc-plated
(1) 9919DFJERL -6AN to 16mm x 1.5, AN to Metric fitting adapter, blue
(1) 991954ERL -6AN to 14mm x 1.5, AN to Metric fitting adapter, blue

Plug in the part #'s (without the "ERL") at AN PLUMBING.COM and it comes out to $59.92 before shipping. Put it together yourself and save around $40. Earl's makes high-quality products. ISIS did come out with a great pre-made product first but this is definitely more affordable

Okay, so my power steering hose it leaking like crazy.. It literally squirts a stream of fluid every time I turn the wheel too much to the far left or right.

I wanted to try the ISIS Steel Braided Power Steering line. Seems simple enough, I'm going to order one tomorrow. Quick question though, it seems like some people have no problem with using regular Power Steering Fluid while others say to use Automatic Transmission Fluid. Which is it?

I don't want to break my power steering by putting the wrong fluid in with that braided line. Which do I use?

Thanks,
--Marc

Will these fittings and hose work? They are from racerpartswholesale.com and everything comes out to be even cheaper ($49.36 to be exact). Check it out.

High Pressure:
(2) AER-FCM4032 -6AN 90 degree reusable elbow fitting
(1) AER-FCM2240 -6AN to 14mm x 1.5, AN to metric fitting
(1) AER-FCM2241 -6AN to 16mm x 1.5, AN to metric fitting
(2 ft.) AER-FBC0600 -6AN Teflon Racing Hose

Also, what are the fitting sizes and line size to make the hose from the pump to reservoir braided? I have a spare braided line that was used as an oil return for a turbo that I would want to use for this line. Thanks.

No! You NEED power steering specific hose because it is rated at a lot of a higher pressure than regular stainless hose.
