Power Steering on 240 w/ RB20

Post by **Nskylinerb-25** » Tue Dec 26, 2006 12:51 pm

Well I've bee doing some research on how can I put power steering on a 240 w/ an RB20 and I really haven't came up w/ anything other than I would need the KA24DE power steering lines wich I alredy have the thing is that my car is an 89 that originally came w/ the single cam and the resirvor came on the oposite side. has anyone done this before and how hard was it and if you can gide me on how to do it. I really don't know that much about cars so any help I can get I would appreciate it thanx.

use the ps rack that you have now, use the dohc or rb20 ps resevoir, use the 91-98 240sx lines.

Post by **Shocker** » Tue Dec 26, 2006 8:29 pm

yeah use 91+ lines or take the standard lines to a speciallist who deals with pressure fitting lines, if you give them an idea of the size you need, they can splice them togther as one so it fits.. that is what I did.

dont forget to disable the hicas half of the PS pump if you're using the pump from the rb20

Post by **Nskylinerb-25** » Wed Dec 27, 2006 8:45 am

how hard is it to do and do you have to do any customizing of the lines.

Website · Post by **Bronze MFP** » Wed Dec 27, 2006 10:37 am

no custom lines, you actually have to block off the rear banjo bolt that used to feed the hicas rack. first you have to take the PS pump off the engine and take it apart the rear housing. inside you will find the impeller with a bunch of little blades you can remove. remove all of them. after that put the pump back together. then you need to epoxy or weld over the holes in the banjo bolt, then use some teflon tape to seal it up when you screw it back into the rear housing. i think thats all there is to disabling the hicas side of the pump, someone correct me if i F'd something up.

This requires a little searching. I could tell you very easily, but searching will teach you more.

the racks are teh same its the lines that are diffrent.

Post by **Nskylinerb-25** » Sat Dec 30, 2006 8:21 am

ok sorry I just got done researching and from what I read it's because all four wheel turn on a skyline when your making a turn and removing the hicas will stop that from happenig correct me if I'm wrong but that's what understood and alot of people do that to their cars anyway.

Post by **JerryRigRB240** » Sat Dec 30, 2006 9:05 am

No reason to appologize.

Unless you're running HICAS on your 240SX, you have to block off the 2nd output from the rear of the pump. The reason you also have to take the pump apart and take the impellers off the wheel is pressure will build up and ruin your pump if you don't.

Post by **mello88** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 10:46 am

Will the KA24DE Power steering banjo bolts fit the R32 power steering pump? I read something the other day that made me think I need the Skyline banjo's..

Anyone know the size and thread pitch of the banjo bolts?

Still looking for an R32 power steering bracket, if you have one FS please email me joelmello at gmail.com Thanks

The part # for the ps belt, as reads on the belt for my rb20det is AY140-40945. This set of #'s is on the belt also 4PK945. I dont know where you can get one but I do know that autozone doesnt have a cross over belt for these #'s.

Someone said that a late 80's model Nissan Maxima PS belt works fine. I would ask to see one at advance or wherever and guesstimate the size on it

Post by **dsm** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 5:04 pm

4pk945 is a 4 rib belt that is 94.5cm long

Anyone have any info on the Banjo bolts?

Bro if your looking to buy a bolt to plug it, your not going to find it unless you have some special hardware spot.

Just do what I did.Take out the rear banjo bolt and the hose that runs to the back.Get some tape Tape up the side holes.Then drop some JB weld in the bottom.Let it set/dry for a couple hours.(left mine for a couple days)Then take the stock hose and cut the fitting so that you have a spacer.Put the spacer on and tighten that new Plugged banjo bolt.

What's everyone using for the Low pressure hose. The hose from the resivour to the pump???Mine for some reason either didn't fit or I just didn't have it.

So I went to Autozone and Ghetto rigged something. But... its leaking so I need a real hose.
