that fuji one looks like it was built out of legos. with the MA line you get an adapter fitting and a fitting right off the hose, not something that looks like it was made at home depot.

i'd go with MA hands down, many many many people who track their cars use them...its DEFINITELY proven!

Ok Baker makes lines like the MA ones now and since they're local I'll just have them make one. I haven't taken my hose off yet so does anyone know how long the MA or ISIS one is? Thanks.

got the baker line and it works fine. However, something in my power steering makes a noise now only when i turn the wheel slow to either side.

Also got this from Dan @ Fuji SPL:

Norman,

The line is synthetic metal laced rubber. (I'm not sure if that is the technical turn, but that is what I know it as) It can function under 5000 psi running pressure and up to 20,000 spike pressure. We delete the valve sensor mainly because we can't accurately replicate the set-up on our line. Most people don't care because the sensor makes such a small difference.

Thanks,
Dan

That's a lot stronger than OEM and Lego's haha

Mine makes noise also after replacing the high pressure with Earl's hose/fittings

Got rid of the sensor and bypass mess also..

usdm180sx · 10-05-2009, 06:46 PM

So it's normal that it makes noise now? It works fine though =/

2iv0 sx · 10-05-2009, 07:16 PM

Maybe so.. everything works fine for me as well

Usually with mine when I make a slow turn or some the noise comes.. i dont know it's random

It gradually went away after time tho. Give it some "break in" time, so to speak.

Take your old, dead line to G & J Aircraft in Ontario.. They'll make a new line for you. www.gandjaircraft.net

That's the one that I bought for my old car. I slid it around bouncing off the limiter all the time. Held up great and never leaked.

Looks EXACTLY like ISIS, haha.

WhiteS12+1 · 10-26-2009, 10:04 AM

For the ones who recently replaced your leaky PS line, what size socket to remove the banjo? I am guessing it looks to be a 22 or 23mm...Also what size line wrench is needed to remove the hard line on the other end that goes to the rack? Sorry if this widely known knowledge, but I searched with no success....

*DALAZ_68* · 10-26-2009, 10:13 AM

mine was a 22...then again i have a CA...dont know if its different for an SR or KA

Thanks man!! Can anybody else confirm or deny the size of the banjo and what size line wrench for the hard line? I want to make sure I have all the necessary tools, before I get started. Thanks again!
