So I have a 1989 240sx. Clearly no HICAS. I dropped a ca18det and it's going well, besides the power steering lines. They were crimped shut. So I'll need new lines, but I have no idea what lines to get or where they go. This motor is in a ka24e chassis and I really need help on how to set up the ps lines. Thanks!

Yup, use dual cam KA lines. Single cam lines wont work. Enjoy the motor upgrade! Single cam to CA was a nice upgrade for me.

I already answered your question. Now it's just redundant.

Sorry, I didn't wire up my car. I got my wiring harness done for like $200 at a local shop.
