yeah, just swap in a new pump and throw a cooler on it. just make sure the cooler is lower then the resovoir

around the motor area..
? wtf.

lol i think the dude meant from what side of the pump.

the high pressure side, or low pressure side.

i only had this problem once with my SR ps pump, whn i revved @ 7000rpm the belt broke and seize the pump, then i just threw a fresh DE pump and good to go, but i swapped out all the hoses for safe measures.

sorry for a noob question but where did you buy the ps belt and the hoses?

autozone man... theres no car you can really get the stuff from, so you can bring you car in so you can get the right fitment. i installed my belt @ autozone parking lot. then just buy a few feet of misc hoses..

im not sure but think they discuss the measurement and such on the SR20det faq thread.

GL. if you dont find it, just bring your car in @ autozone. GL.

Generally a cooler is only needed for cars running WIIIDE front tires. You shouldnt be blowing pumps due to overheating the fluid if your tires arent super wide.

what type of fluid are you using? power steering fluid or ATF??

[lazysk8er2]

theres a write up about power steering pumps. yo ucan use the kade pump but you have to flip the pull around and only 2 of the 3 bolts align.

i cant find the link can anyone else verify?

if the OP still have the OEM SR pump, everything bolts right in from the KA PS pump. He just have to swap the pulley and the feed neck, or just get a longer hose making sure it doesnt kink.

power steering fluid.

Well that's why it's leaking. PSF is a lot thinner then ATF. You are supposed to use ATF.

If you haven't damaged a seal already it should stop leaking once you swap in ATF.

ATF works?

[90hatchie]

[djcobra]

That's why we have FSM. If in doubt, ask/read the bloody FSM!

power steering fluid.

Wow. Quit driving the car for a few days and read up on it. You obviously don't know even the basics of it if you're just throwing in whatever fluid you feel like. Do you use antifreeze in place of your oil too?

Every Nissan vehicle for over three decades clearly labels in the owner's manual and the FSM that their power steering system is designed to use ATF. Anything else will damage the entire system.

Your point exactly. This forum already exists and the discussion already exists. In fact, your question has already been asked and answered several dozen times in over a decade so there's no reason for anyone to hold your hand. You're an adult, if you can't reasonably find the answer you need, you've chosen the wrong calling in life.

Anyone who just pours fluid into a system without first checking what's required is absolutely fucking stupid. Simple.
