ive read both on zilvia.net and on 240sxforums.com and i think even on here that when swapping to a DOHC, you can use the SOHC lines. they must be moved to the other side. ive been looking at those things all day and there is no way to 'switch' them to the other side without bending the lines. or am i just retarded? the DOHC power steering pump also has two connections for those large bolts that are bored inside. when i was at the junkyard today looking at the DOHC engine bay, i didnt see a second hose that would bolt up to the power steering pump. either way, i tryed searching for this, but couldnt seem to find it. any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

You have to bend the lines to fit, its easier to get the DOHC setup from the junkyard and do a swap.

yeah, get the hard line that attaches to the x-member at the junkyard for less than 10 bucks as well as the resevoir. I got the highpressure line from autozone for 50 bucks brand new.. No leaks
