hey guys i just bought my first 240 with a sr20 swap the other day and theres a few things wrong with it. i kinda got raped on the price but i dont even want to talk about that just wanna figure out what i need to make it better. this morning I went outside and there was a big red puddle of fluid under the car so I thought it was tranny fluid. brought it to minake and the guy pointed out that the fluid was leaking from the hose connecting to the powersteering box? I believe thats the hose I need. If anyone can give me info on if im right or not and where i could get this piece that would be great. thanks guys!
also my tach isnt working and I know it will need to be changed out for one with will work with the sr. where do i get one of these? do i look for a stock 180sx tach or do I go aftermarket?

You're talking about the Power steering high pressure hose. You can pick that up at Autozone for under $60. Don't forget to get some ATF to replace the powersteering fluid loss during the installation of the new powersteering hose.

nisi14, will this allow me to keep powersteering or will this just eliminate powersteering and make the fluid circulate?

It replaces the your high pressure line.

Make sure you use high pressure power steering fittings.
