Hey guys. I have a question... I have my power steering connected and all, but my hose is slightly ripped or torn. I just got my motor rebuild and don't want all that fluid getting everywhere. I wanted to know what belt I can use that just connects to the crank pulley and water pump... maybe there another car that has the belt that can wrap around the crank pulley and water pump...

lmk guys

*Wake* · 11-12-2011, 10:37 PM

Dude, take a piece of string and measure it. Take string to parts store and have them find a right sized belt.

What motor? I vote for just getting a new hose, in most cases though.

One problem, on a KADE the power steering is used as a tensioner. Not an easy fix without doing some fab work.

KravingAKouki · 11-12-2011, 11:24 PM

Is it possible to remove frame rust from a door jam on the driver side on a kouki? If so how long do you think it would take me to do it if i had all of the necessary parts?

lennex06 · 11-12-2011, 11:28 PM

iI know about the measuring, just was curious if u guys knew what exact belt it was from some car ya know. but I guess Ill just measure it. And I would buy a new hose but I have no job and broke. =(

But thanks for answering guys.

harangatang · 11-13-2011, 12:01 AM

Put 11'' wide equips up front. Power steering pump is now whining. (Go fucking figure) Will a p/s cooler help this?

Well, in all honesty I have a bunch of extra -6AN laying around. For about $30bucks worth of fittings and whatever it costs to ship the hose, you could have a new high-side line pretty fast.

(Just to clarify, I'd send you a couple of feet of hose for the cost of shipping. I neither have, nor do I sell fittings)

I've seen a few people do this (if you search you can find a thread on it). Post a pic so we can see how bad it is. How long depends on how good you are with fabrication.

The pinion (which is also part of the rack)? The power steering pump? Got a pic?

Does it whine all the time? What fluid are you using and is the fluid boiling after a drive?

Yes, it's whining all the time. It gets louder when I'm parking of course though. I'm not sure what fluid it is, but it's not boiling.

this is another low oil pressure question. my engine was fully rebuilt back to stock with new oil pump, gt2860rs turbo, and innovate electronic gauge. i had an oil leak from a crack in the timing chain tensioner, but that has been fixed. at start up pressure is at 60psi and holds steady. once its warmed up im getting 40psi @ 3k and 6psi @ idle. i have no idea what to look for. the only thing i can think of is im using the wrong restrictor (.062 from dif ss lines) am i crazy in thinking 6psi is low?

Seems like more a gauge issue than anything, 6-10 psi isn't overly bad once warm and ideling IMO. What does it make at 3000/5000/7000 rpm? So long as it makes good oil pressure there, don't worry.

otios1138 · 11-13-2011, 07:51 PM

I tried my best looking everywhere but i cant seem to find a 1983 cressida taillight (just need the turn signal) where can i find it??

rat240 · 11-14-2011, 03:11 AM

is there any way to find out the original steering wheel position

imverus · 11-14-2011, 08:17 PM

I have an s14 sr20det in a s13 and everything works properly but my coolant temperate gauge on my cluster.. What could possibly be the problem why the gauge doesn't work? I know for the fact it's not wiring.. I've changed my thermostat to a nismo one and changed the coolant temperature sensor. What other problems should i check for? re bleed the whole system?

If you take the wheel off, there's a little notch on the spline. That's the top.

Edit: On this piece.

It's more obvious than the picture makes it seem.

thanks man. yeah, I think I'll just have to settle with the megan bushings because I doubt I'll be able to find nismo ones.

GotMilk? · 11-15-2011, 12:38 PM

anyone has that kit? how's the fitment? Just want that front bumper

punxva · 11-15-2011, 12:44 PM

g-corporation, i'm sure it fits well.

GotMilk? · 11-15-2011, 01:15 PM

thank you,...was long time searching for the real brand

*Wake* · 11-15-2011, 01:57 PM

Just a heads up, there is not very many sides and rear other than gcorp that will look good with that front. Its super low.

GotMilk? · 11-15-2011, 02:02 PM

the problem is, i got kouki sides, and rear valances,...but i'm not a fan of the OEM Kouki front bumper,...my favorite is GT1 Break ito,...but shipping to germany is killing me :/

*Wake* · 11-15-2011, 02:05 PM

Gcorp will not be any better and will not look good with stock sides.

probably cheaper to buy a OEM front bumper from here (USA) and find yourself a GT-1 lip. But even that will hang lower than stock sides.

Im not saying dont do it, just trying to help you make an informed decision before throwing money away.

Edwin562 · 11-15-2011, 02:07 PM

anyone having fitment issues wit hood dampers for the s13? i tried different lengths but the dampers get in the way when closing the hood.... any feed on this would help...

GotMilk? · 11-15-2011, 02:17 PM

that's the point,...really likin the form of oem sides, but they are high as fuck,...probably it's the best choice to go for a oem front end,...wish the sides would be about an inch lower.
I don't want to waste my money too,...but in common to a g-corp or anything similar a oem one won't be cheaper.
What about a Version Select one?

*Wake* · 11-15-2011, 02:20 PM

version select fitment is very hit and miss.

GotMilk? · 11-15-2011, 02:25 PM

Mmmh,...at the moment i hate beeing german,...damn you shipping.
Okay...got some time left to make a decision, thanks for your help.
It confirmed a lot that i was thinkin

*Wake* · 11-15-2011, 02:41 PM

lol dont hate being German, hate being in Germany.

Good luck tho.

Maybe URAS type 2?

GotMilk? · 11-15-2011, 02:45 PM

Thank you for that one,...haven't thought about it

Shouldn't be to difficult to get it from a european uras dealer
