Would really like to hear how anyone did the power steering in their s or r chassis. Use the vh power steering pump hooked up to skyline rack ?

Mines mounted in R32 , I used an MR2 electric power steer pump and braided lines to the stock rack in the stock position, can turn it on and off with a switch on the dash

Holset I've just been a few of your post but couldn't find what you did with engine mounts. Did you use 32 xmember or 33? Vh mounts modified or modified r32? And no clearance issues with the brake booster?

i used standard vh45 engine mounts with RB20 rubbers

I used a brake booster of a mid 80s nissan pulsar,im pretty sure it bolts straight up to the same pattern on the firewall and is half the size of a skyline one to give you more clearance and pedal feel is still really good

Hey cool, I've always had mixed answers about pedal feel using a smaller booster with 4 an 2 pot brake callipers, guess there's only 1 way to find out

Hey dude I live in Hamilton can't pm you so leaving a message here. Do you have any spare vh mounts for sale or able to make some to fit my r32. Just got a vh41 out of a y32 an no mounts. Or is it just as easy to modify rb mounts?

I'm running JDM VH41DE power steering pump on my S15. It works without any problem and no need to relocate it :)
