Hi Guys,
(1994 180sx sr20det - bought car with p/s disconnected)

I've just replaced my High-pressure line and filled up the system. There are no leaks anywhere, I've tightened everything up (except for two joints that move?).
Power steering pump whines when I go over 1000rpm (fine on idle).

I have bled the system nearly 20 times with engine off and 20 times with engine on. Pump still whines and there are tiny bubbles in the reservoir.

Please help me guys, I need this car ready for my first ever drift day in 5 days!!

Check and make sure your rack is not leaking

Pull the inner tie rod boots off and check both sides. If you’ve already done this, then chances are the pump is worn out. If you still have power steering, I’d just send it!
