240SX ISIS Stainless Steel Braided Power Steering Line Install and Review



A plague to the 240 family is a soft, leaky power steering system. In an effort to help correct this, Enjuku Racing’s ISIS product line offers a Stainless Steel Power Steering Line. On top of replacing leaky lines and improving steering feel, the line also allows for more clearance when going turbo and makes converting from 1989/1990 power steering systems to 1991+ much easier.

The line comes with everything you need for installation. The installation it’s self is not bad at all. Just expect to get a little messy with the power steering fluid.

After installation I noticed the steering feel is more direct and turn in is more responsive. I have not experienced any leaks from the line after about a month or so and a drift event.

Tools needed:

A set of metric open ended wrenches Drain panNew Power Steering fluid

Installation:

Step one: Make some room for you to work by removing the air filter and mass air flow sensor.



Step two: Place a drain pan under the rack to catch the fluid and remove the bottom line going into the steering rack.

*note* mine was old and broke so don’t be surprised if yours does too



Step 3: Remove the bracket holding the lines inside fender.



Step four: Remove the top part of the hose from the power steering pump.



Step five: Insert the fittings into the PS pump and Rack separately from the line using the washers that came with the line.

*note* Be careful of the o-ring on the fitting and don’t lose it.







Step six: Install the line onto the fittings and snug it down.





Step 7: Fill with new fluid and give the wheels a few turns back and forth with the engine running to circulate the fluid and you are good to go!

Im installing mine right now and I noticed that after i disconnected everything the line wont come out. I believe its the bracket in the third picture from the bottom that holds two hard lines under your pinky.

The was no bracket holding mine in. It was a little rough to pull mine out just because it has been in there since 1991 though...
