Ok we all know that you can use the RB20DET crossmember and you can put it into your s13. My question is, how do you run the power steering lines? I know your suppose to swap the rack and pinon, but else is there that needs to be done for this to work. I have a 90 hatch, so it has the ka24e rack pinion if there is any difference. I tried searching on all the forums but didnt find anything.

u will use the stock rack and pinion with custom lines i had a high pressure line done at earl`s in CA ( thanks to a fellow nico forum member he helped out with it )

and for the low pressure hose i custom made a cooler line using a trans cooler from auto zone with some rubber hoses

Probably cheaper to find a 91-94 complete power steering setup from a junker. The rack & pinion will bolt directly to the crossmember and you can use the stock lines with the stock reservoir. Also easier if you have the non-hicas RB pump.
