Power Steering Fittings

[k00laid83]

Hello Everyone,

So a couple of years back I created a thread gauging interest on who would be interested in buying S-Chassis specific PS fittings. I've been in contact with a manufacturer who will make the PS fittings, and before I go all in I want to see if members would be interested. The S-Chassis specific PS fittings will be made in brass or steel. I'm leaning towards brass to avoid rusty fittings. I'm avoiding aluminum since I've experienced aluminum fittings snapping on me.

The reason I've looked into this was that I was tired of my steering rack always leaking ps fluid, because of fittings that came in my kit were to short. I tried everything to stop the leak, like slapping a bunch of sealant on the threads, crush washers, washers with rubber seals, and different fittings. None of that worked and my rack still leaked. I was fed up so I ended up making my own fittings from the original lines and welding them to -6an bungs. Since, I've done that I haven't had one single leak for over a year. Now I'm looking into having fittings made and wanted to see if the community would be interested in something like this.

[RalliartRsX]

I would be interested

Also in search of replacing the banjo bolt and banjo bolt extender with a -AN fitting and line for fitment

PS fluid is messy when there’s a leak.. would give this a try

Thanks for the heads up. As for that banjo fitting, try a 16mm x 1.5 fitting to 6an. That's what I'm using for the pump but I'm still using the banjo itself.

[los_inc]

i would like a set. <3

Curious why they're sold in pairs when typically the one to leak is the high pressure line going into the rack.

Edit: not to burst your bubble, but chasebays offers a revised fitting which you can buy on their website for like $10. I have a comparson picture between their old fitting and their new one and the middle is definitely thinner to let the o ring get further into the rack. If I recall, there was about an .080" difference between fittings when I measured.

Maybe that one isn't made in China :lol:

to the OP: I use a steel fitting at the rack that you can actually put some torque into and it's given me zero issues.

I just took a look at their revised fittings and it looks the same as the ones that I was provided. When I had the issue chasebays did send me a different set, but it still leaked. When my rack was leaking I had a leak come from both the high and low pressure line. Once I welded bungs to my old lines my leaking problem went away.

What I'm going to sell will be both PS fittings with o-rings. The low pressure side will be an o-ring fitting as well. I want to ensure I provide something that ensures there are no leaks.

I attached pictures of my old fittings for comparison.

I've thought of getting steel fittings, the only issue I considered was it rusting. I'm thinking about people out in the east coast. I had set in my mind that brass would help with the rust issue.

[240KA]

i'd be interested.

could you PM me a link to the $14 aluminum ones? i'm curious

[KAT-PWR]

weld AN fitting to stock fitting.

[Hoffman5982]

I've bought multiple high pressure fittings over the years ranging from Earl's to the cheapest I could find on eBay, none of them leaked. So I'm calling bs on the high pressure line being the most common one to leak. The low pressure one is the one you have to get fittings machined down so they seat correctly. I need one myself but the only one I can find is the guy on here selling the pair for almost $70 which is a bit ridiculous imo

You can call BS but mine leaked until I welded up 6an bungs to my stock lines

[Hoffman5982]

Didn't say they never leak for people, I said it's not the most common one to leak.

[RalliartRsX]

One thing to note: in a quick 10 sec search via Google, I uncovered no fewer than 5 companies which either make the line(s), the proper (longer) fittings or both as a package (and this is outside of ISR and ChasBays).

Just something to keep in mind.

The $70 set on here is just outrageous. I think I saw the set as cheap at $22 + shipping (so maybe $30 total). Albeit AL fittings.

[Hoffman5982]

Have a link to the low side fitting? I haven’t been able to find a longer one

[Mitsubayati]

also interested in low side fitting. As far as kits, I've used the ISR one with their rack fitting and haven't had any issues at the rack. The PS pump side washer/seal is garbage though. Leaked immediately. I used a copper washer in front of it and it worked.

[NismoPlsr]

Yea dudes, here is a pair for cheaper than I can get fittings prior to re-oping. These didn't exist a couple years ago. They look like they would fit and seal pretty good. Anyone try them yet?

I purchased some about a week ago, quality seems really good. Have yet to actually try them out, still rebuilding my car, but can't wait to try them out.

I've seen that company, and the fittings look great. I'm interested in fittings other than aluminum. I've had bad experiences with AL fittings.

[TheRealSy90]

If the oring is sealing properly, there's no need to crank the fitting down so tightly to seal on a crush washer. Thus you shouldn't be stripping or snapping off the fitting.

That's the set I was referring to in my post

Why are people so keen on NOT running AL?? If the fitting is built correctly, one should NOT have to crank down on it and strip threads/destroy fittings. If you are destroying fittings or have some aversion to AL, you are doing something wrong

[TheRealSy90]

So is it common practice to keep the high pressure line connector to the pump or to remove it?
I usually see it done both ways as the fitting usually supplied with most kits can be installed into this connector, or you can remove it and install straight into the pump itself. Thing is I believe the banjo bolt securing the connector to the pump is actually also a pressure regulator. Would be interesting to find out if people with PS issues did or did not retain it.

[slider2828]

I have replaced it before but its a pain to keep it from not leaking vs. over tightening... I have usually retained it in my rebuilds.

If this man says to keep it on, i'm keeping mine on. this was back in 2013. maybe he's learned something new since then :P

The cast iron pump output is needed. I ditched it and used a fitting straight off the pump and it killed the thing over the course of a couple of months. Not sure what its real purpose is, but it's needed.

So glad you posted this link, just ordered a set! I think these might finally be the ticket to keeping my ChaseBays kit from leaking at the rack. I have a brand new HICAS rack sitting in the garage waiting to replace the standard rack so hopefully the new rack coupled with these fittings will finally solve my powersteering woes...

These look like they would do the trick- good find.

I had this issue with my Chase Bays kit. After trying numerous different fittings and tricks I read in many old threads, I picked up these fittings from Allstar and had a friend machine them down for me. No leaks since:

This is a good thread- will solve a lot of people's headaches for sure!

[tuzzio]

Everybody here is mad this didn't exist in previous years.

[Rustys14]

Just installed the Cutworm fittings along with my new rack and they did the trick. I bought both fittings and the total after shipping was right around $27. I would definitely recommend anyone with a ChaseBays kit pick these up if you're having trouble with leaking at the rack. I don't really see a problem with them being aluminum, the fittings have O rings and are the proper length so you don't really have to crank down all that hard to get them to seal.

[k00laid83]

I haven't tried any AL fittings on my rack. I had a bad experience with a AL fitting on my turbo I had back in the day on my civic. It wasn't over tightened it had snapped right above where it threaded in. It was perfect for a few months and then just broke. So I personally always use steel or brass if possible.

I'm glad they worked out for you. Great option! I've been in talks with a few hydraulic companies about these fittings, and every fitting I've seen that they provide needs to be milled. The quality of all the fittings I've seen are amazing. I just can't seem to find fittings besides cutworm that are just long enough without being milled. I've even thought of buying a small mill and milling down their fittings.

[TheRealSy90]

I'm pretty sure Cutworm are selling milled fittings as well.

speaking of this adapter does ANYONE know the size AN fitting you need to delete this connector?

[PatPs13]

Just installed a P2M brand high pressure line straight to the banjo connector. No leaks at the pump and no leaks at the rack :x:

[k00laid83]

Hi everyone just wanted to share the example test pieces I had made. These test pieces were done in stainless. The o-rings that are on the fittings are of a higher grade and are made of vitron/FKM material.

The initial shop that made these fittings doubled my initial quote. Which wouldn't make the fittings affordable for everyone. So now I'm in talks with a couple of new shops. Just waiting on a quote from one other shop. I'm hoping to get these fittings made soon.

Well take a look at the fittings bolted to a spare rack I have.

So the shop charged you $50 for those??

EVen at $50, its cheaper than the other set on here for almost 70 hahahah!

Actually like way more! They wanted like $120 (they were smoking crack!) but I was like you never even contacted me and I wasn't aware they were even made. Luckily my haggling skills were on point lol. They just want way to much per fitting. I've already got a better price from a different shop. I'm just waiting on one more place. They might be able to give me a good price on stainless. As of right now a set will be $30 to $35, I'm hoping I can give that price for stainless. Still offering free shipping in the 48 states.

[RalliartRsX]

Materials costs have gone up, so if you get that price that would be sweet (but I wouldn't hold my breath)

[EFITTZY]

Very interested in a set. RalliartRsX has a good point about material costs increasing. In for final cost figure once you choose the shop that is going to manufacture em. :naughty:

[TheRealSy90]

Would be nice to see some side-by-side shots of the stock fittings, these new "correct" fittings, and the commonly used "incorrect" fittings. Showing the oring depths etc.

[k00laid83]

Yea I totally get that material cost went up by 25% because of Trump. It makes sense but I've already received quotes from other shops that are working with me. I've received quotes from overseas (China) as well, they're giving me a good price. I'm just trying to keep everything local, but if the price works for everyone and they don't care if it's from china then I might consider it.

Just keeping options open so it's affordable for everyone.

[k00laid83]

Ask and you shall receive. I thought I included this pic, I guess I was wrong. I also included a pic of the fitting that was sent to me for the low pressure side. That fitting doesn't have an o-ring, it's the last pic. In the first pic you'll see a pic of the old fitting, it's the only fitting with the o-ring.

I don't have the stock lines. Well I might have the one for the low pressure, but its just the hard line. I'll send pics later on when I'm off of work.

[k00laid83]

Here's the requested pic of the low pressure stock line with my fitting. Unfortunately, I don't have the stock high pressure line to take pics of.

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is having a great Easter. I just wanted to keep people updated. As of right now the number of people wanting a set of fittings is at 73. Just trying to get a whole number of fittings that I'll need before I put in my order. If I could get close to 100 that would be great that way I have enough for everyone. I installed these on my car on Friday and am testing everything to ensure everything works. Since installing a set of the test fittings I haven't had one leak. I let my car run for a while and have checked many times since installing them to see if anything was leaking. So far there hasn't been anything, I'll be taking out my car this morning and drive it around to see if any leaks become apparent.

Right now the fittings will be made of steel with zinc coating. I have yet to hear back from another shop with a reasonable quote. I'm basing the cost on the best quote I've received. These fittings are made locally in the USA.

If you're interested in a set please let me know as soon as you can in comments or in the messenger.

The set will be sold for $37 free shipping in the 48 states. I've upped the price to include paypal fees. I'll ship overseas but you will have to cover the shipping.

If you have any questions please let me know. I'll be providing my Google Pay information sometime next week to people who are interested in a set. The turn around time for the fittings is 3-4 weeks from the machine shop. Then a week or so for me to ship the fittings out.

Here are pics of the installation:

Does anybody know the minimum distance from the o-ring to the base of the hex to ensure a leak free fit? The fittings I have are 15mm and if they aren't long enough, it will just be cheaper to buy all new pieces.

[k00laid83]

15mm is for sure to short in my experience.

[k00laid83]

feedback anyone?

The 18 sets that have been sold are all pre-orders. I'll only be doing a limited run on fitting sets. I'll have a very limited amount of stock and it depends on how many pre-orders I receive.

I've been advising people on the s-chassis facebook communities that it's going to be first come, first serve.

On Monday, I'll be advising the machine shop the amount of fittings that I will be needing.

If anyone has any questions at all please do not hesitate in contacting me.

[k00laid83]

What's up everyone. Just an update, yesterday I emailed my blueprints to the machine shop. I've taken Monday off so I can drop off my samples, and talk about details before completing the batch.

On Monday, they will have the final number of fittings I need made. If you haven't placed your order I suggest you do so. These fittings will be a one time run. I will have a very limited amount of stock. First come, first served.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate in contacting me.

[k00laid83]

Getting ready to head over to the machine shop to talk about the amount of fittings I need. If you haven't placed your order yet I'd appreciate that you do. Please let me know, that way I have an accurate number. That way I have enough for everyone. As of right now this is a one time run.

[240KA]

this is awesome. glad you're going through with this. i'm interested, but don't need to buy the fittings at this moment. hopefully they'll be available when my time comes.

[k00laid83]

Alright I dropped off my prototypes. Getting the ball rolling is pretty exciting lol. I hate to say this but I was a nervous little girl when I was in there :love:. Felt like the first day of school haha. Anyway the time frame is 3 to 4 weeks. If you're interested in a set don't hesitate to contact me.

[k00laid83]

I still have open spots. If you're interested in a set of fittings please get a hold of me.

[Bnr32gtr]

Any chance this is the same fitting on z33 rack? Looking to do a z33 rack swap in future.

[Bnr32gtr]

Any chance any one knows if z33 fitting r the same? Looking to do z33 rack swap next time I need a rack cuz finding a good S chassis hard to come by.

I found a forum and it specifies the same threads. I also found a YouTube video where a guy is replacing the rack. Honestly, the fittings look the same. I know the high pressure fitting should fit and that forum confirms it.

Here is a link to a forum where it indicates thread sizes for the ps rack.
https://my350z.com/forum/engine-drivetrain-and-forced-induction-diy/611468-diy-power-steering-high-pressure-hose-replacement.html

If you skip to 8 minutes in you'll watch the guy unbolt the low pressure fitting.

Hope this information helps out!

Well, that's a bummer. Looks like I need to buy new ones.

[k00laid83]

Hope everyone is doing well. Just wanted to give everyone an update. The fittings are currently being machined. The machine shop advised that I would get the fittings hopefully early next week. As a reminder I will be testing every fitting on my spare rack before shipping.

Is it too late to ask to buy a pair? I just saw this thread haha

No sir it's not to late. PM me if you're still interested.

[k00laid83]

Just want to make everyone aware I increased the price from $35 to $37. The new price was increased to cover paypal fees.

[Kingtal0n]

When i destroyed my rack high pressure threads, a friend helped me take the piece of aluminum off the rack (its like 2 bolts plus the steering shaft) and he welded a -6an into where the old threads used to be. The housing has 2 O-rings inside it where it goes up into the shaft.

Still leaks fluid but I found it was seeping out of the double O-rings under the steering shaft part.

I think by then you need a rebuild right? Since I've installed my homemade fittings and now my prototype fittings, I haven't had one single leak. The fittings I'm producing are being made more accurate than my prototypes. I imagine the production fittings are less likely to leak compared to my prototypes.

[derass]

Probably one of these. My rack leaked from the top of the pinion too.

You can get an aftermarket rack seal kit, or just those few from the dealer, for about $50.

edit: the "Pinion Oil Seal" at the bottom should be highlighted too.

UPDATE!!

Well I got the fittings in my hand. I'll be testing every single fitting on my spare rack once I get home. Let me tell you these fittings look great! If anyone is interested in a set of fittings please make sure to hit me up.

They shine nice in the sun.

Also to finish your powersteering system, here is the fitting for your pump which gets rid of the banjo bolt. Its flow controlled as well.

How do you get the fitting out of the pump to put that one in? Does it just thread out? Asking because I didn't see a way to get it out since the oem fitting is pretty much all threads.

[slider2828]

Its just a banjo bolt with 2 washers. Just straight thread it out.....

I assume SR20 PS Pump vs. KA PS Pump is the same

Welp, I overlooked the part where you said banjo bolt. Yeah, the SR pump has a threaded stud. :facepalm: Guess I need to dig around the garage and see if I can find a KA PS pump to use, I'd love to get rid of that damn factory piece.

ETA: I think the ones with the threaded stud are S14/S15 SR power steering pumps.

I am sure the S13 SR have the banjo as well, because mine is s13.... Maybe not CA.... I tried looking online for KA pumps and some have thread and some doesn't. But buy k00laid's fittings and make a high pressure AN -6 line and never leak again.

Yeah, I need to pick up the fittings from kool, already have p/s line and fittings to make, just need to try and find a banjo bolted ps pump so I can replace that fitting too. Pretty sure I have one laying around.

Do you know the thread size of this flow control valve? I'm not seeing it on their website. I need to figure out if this will fit a vq35hr power steering pump because i'm having issues blowing my steering rack with my vq swap. I'm guessing I should go with the smallest valve/fitting at first?

You can call BS but mine leaked until I welded up 6an bungs to my stock lines

I always had a problem with the high pressure side leaking. Tried many washers and other stuff to kill the leak but was never really able to. With these, I actually felt the o-ring seat into the rack.
Thanks K00laid!

Nope those are different. Those are for the lines on the rack between the two sides. The fittings koolaid are selling are for the fittings to and from the pump / reservoir.

I ran the numbers on assembling a kit and it made more sense to just scoop up the Chase Bays kit.

Sooooooooooo, after 2 months, it finally showed up and I figured everyone might want a side by side comparison on why these fittings are superior. Even though the Chase Bays fittings seat flat against the rack, they do not bottom out and rely on a much thicker o-ring to create a seal. This becomes a problem over time as the seal will degrade and the fittings eventually leak.

Just wanted to provide some more feedback. These fittings are legit. I have them installed in my s14 rack with a chasebays relocation setup. As many have mentioned the chasebays fittings leak! Installed these and so far have about 500 miles on them without a single drop! Thanx again k00laid83.

Oh wow really? That's the first time I've heard anyone having that issue. I still have sets.

[RalliartRsX]

SO I pulled mine and the extended tips (which goes into the rack) have compressed and rounded when installing. This is on a Z32 rack mind you, but I was under the impression the rack was pretty similar to the 240SX. Do you have any pics after installing and pulling the fittings to see if the tip has been preserved??

I can pull and take pics to let you know what I am referring to. Not sure if it will still seal, but will be confirming tonight to be sure.

[RalliartRsX]

This is what the tips look like. Except the tip is more rounded.

Actually, this is the first time I've even heard of this. Yea, they should be very similar to the 240sx. If you want to provide pictures I would appreciate it. Honestly, I haven't heard of any issues at all. How much did you over tighten the fittings? When I tightened mine I just did it until they were tight and couldn't tighten anymore.

[k00laid83]

Do the tips look like they've been grinded?

[k00laid83]

So based from the pic you provided the end flared to fit the rack. It should still seal, I messaged you and let you know that I can send you another set of o-rings and it should still seal.

[RalliartRsX]

So it became tight prior to proper torqueing. I removed them as I didn't want to strip anything, so the compressing and rounding of the flared tip was occurring very early in threading it in (as in, the rack depth may be shallower than the 240sx of the same era).

The flared tip on one had a slight grinding to it. The other the tip was just rounded and compressed. WIll take a pic tonight and post.

Oh I see. That could be a possibility that the rack depth maybe shallower. Yes, if you would please provide pics that would be amazing. I really want to apologize that you're having this issue, I feel terrible about this. I'm looking forward to seeing these pictures.

https://i.imgur.com/jdexheA.jpg

Yep lol. Another set of fittings won't address the issue as they are simply too long for the Z32/300ZX rack. Just want to be specific to my case so no one gets the incorrect impression.

I have another solution in mind that involves re-utilizing the banjo bolts

Wow! I've never seen anything like that. Thought maybe the nipple was just a bit to long or something but it's like the entire fitting is just way to long. Can you do me a favor an pm me back please. I'd like to give you a refund and see if I could get those fittings back to see what went wrong. I just don't know what to say.

I appreciate you saying that and I didn't take your post in that way. I'd rather have this information out there. I guess it's a hit or miss because people have used these fittings on s12s. Specific rx7 and that's even more specific because those racks come in three different sizes. I'll keep an eye out for your message. Again, I want to apologize that this happened.

They are hit and miss. Some people have them seal, some cannot get them to seal. The only ones I have found to work besides koolaids are XRP steel fittings. They are slightly longer and you can tighten them properly.

FUCK chase bays. They made their name on sketchy wiring harnesses and jank chinese fittings and improper hose applications. Those first power steering kits they produced were garbage! I know because I bought one.

Doubt those are long enough or worse yet, have the correct flared end as there is actually no standard for PS flared fittings......which has been the issue with just about every PS kit for the 240 as Poorman said above.

Why would you chance it? Koolaid's kit is already cheap and proven and he sold what, 70+ kits or something.

This is not the area to save literally no dollars (you still gotta pay shipping for those fittings).

Thank you sir, I've sold closer to 200 fitting sets. That's about 400 fittings and I haven't had any issues besides your fittings for the 300zx. Again, my goal is to offer quality and good prices.

They are hit and miss. Some people have them seal, some cannot get them to seal. The only ones I have found to work besides koolaids are XRP steel fittings. They are slightly longer and you can tighten them properly.

I didn't realize that the XRP fittings sealed as well. That's good information for people to have.

The only reason I'm down this path is because I bought one of those first version power steering kits. I feel your pain PoorMans180sx.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have plenty of fittings if anyone is in need. Check out the website if interested.

Rad, thanks man. I'll be grabbing a set soon. Is shipping included in the $42?

Well boys this company is straight up scamming / stealing my power steering fittings. He's selling them on his website and pretty much used my fittings description!! I really don't understand why people steal from other people!!




Hate to break it to you mate, but this is just the name of the game. Anything that isn't overly complicated to machine is gonna get copied.

I had a lot of time into developing a power steering kit with a restrictor and a proper reservoir so it didn't leak/stayed cooler/had better feel, and you should have seen my inbox with all the questions about what fittings I used and how I built the reservoir etc. Soon after ChaseBays revised their shitty kit to be less shitty with a properly baffled reservoir, but the same cheap chinese fittings and improper feed hose, which they still use and people still buy :eyeroll:.

After selling a few kits and seeing copy-cat kits pop up around the internet, the shop I was at decided it wasn't worth trying to compete with rock-bottom pricing, so we stopped selling the kit.

Just bought a set of your fittings though, I'll be running them with a KRC reservoir and restrictor and a little Setrab cooler, should work flawlessly. Thanks for making them.

Thanks man. I just realized that I let my emotions get control of me. I need to do more research if I'm going to post things like this period. I've never been the type to be this way. That's why I deleted my post because before I say anything I need to be sure.

I want to say thank you for your advise. It really helped in calming me down. This is the first time I've ever done anything like this so everything is totally new to me.

Glad to hear that you ordered a set of my fittings bro. Thank you.

I have the WSRD kit. Probably one of your first customers! I had the original can that was welded in house and then had to buy the KRC.... I was a bit peeved I had to pay full price for the KBD can since I bought the entire kit, but I also understand that there was a lot of hard work putting the kit together vs chasebay garbage....

That is my setup from poorman. His kit with your fittings on it hahaha.... I have a ross performance harmonic dampner that also underdrives the powersteering belt. So yeah... I hope to keep things calm in PS dept.

I feel for both of you. I know how much time is spent making ish like this and how much MONEY it costs. To go back and worth with design. I am sorry people are copying your stuff and I think I know who it is.... but can't stop them..... If someone is asking for the fittings I point them to you!

I would really appreciate it if my past customers would go on my website and leave reviews. It's because of this community that we have individuals building and creating parts for our vehicles. Would love to hear from all of you.

Thank you! I'm really glad to hear that my fittings are working out for you. I've been wanting to get rid of my ps set up and build my own. I have one of the first chase bays kits and I'm at a point where I want to build my own. Once, I finish up the suspension and kouki type-x front bumper on my s13 I'll have to hit up PoorMans180sx for his kit.
