Hey guys, im relatively new to this site and to the 240sx community. I have been around 240sx for the past 2 yrs and i have really started to fall in love with them. I got my first 240sx a month ago and i just bought my redtop sr20 front clip. Right now, with the help of my very knowledgeable friend, we are converting my 1990 automatic 240sx with a KA24e into a SR20 powered beast. :2f2f:We just removed the ka engine and we are in the process of converting the car. Right now, the biggest problem im facing is the power steering line. As you know, the KA24e power steering lines will not match up with the SR like the KA24DE would. I want to know if there is anyway i can modify the power steering lines from the 1990 KA24E 240sx to fit the sr20 engine!! i dont have the money to buy the 360 something dollars complete KA24de power steering lines from FRsport.com. Can anyone help me or can sell me a complete ka24de power steering line???!! I have heard that you can bend the hardlines or whatnot to fit them but is it true? Is there some cheaper way of me finding or replacing the lines that i need WITHOUT having to go to the junkyard or buying the expensive complete kit from FRsport? (junkyards around my area never hold 240sx for some reason! no one crashes them here.)

Yup... I bent mine at first too.

Stainless steel high pressure lines are like 100 bucks though.
