Do the tips look like they've been grinded?

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.

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. |

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 |

Just to not give people the wrong impression
I am not soliciting koolaid for a refund. This was strictly a post to present another data point for fitment and I am in now way unhappy with the product! Koolaid is trying to make it right Koolaid, I'll pm you in a few as I'm on the road |

Just read through this whole thread. A bunch of great information here.
As a question, has anyone tried these two Fragola fittings? -6 X 14mm X 1.5 Male, EFI or P/S Part number: 491962 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/f...3-bl/overview/ -6 X 16mm X 1.5 Male, EFI or P/S Part number: 491963 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/f...2-bl/overview/ Looks like they offer the 14 and 16mm versions necessary to get the correct depth. |

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.

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). |

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.

Well sucks to be me I just ordered the newest version chase bays power steering kit last thursday -_-
I guess i could just swap these fittings out with yours though if they don't seem to seal right. They said they're supposed to seal now. |

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.

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 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.
