Does anyone have hydro assest on thier Nissan? If so, got some pics? I just got all the stuff to add power steering to my truck and want to prep it hydro before I install the box. Thanks.

You know, thats an excelent question. I cant recall anyone doing it yet.

Call up someplace like westtexasoffroad, who do the redneck ram kit, and ask them. They will rebuild and tap steering boxes for $100.

Somone did it about 2 years ago but I'd be damned if i could remember who it was.

PCS is going to design and install a system for Herk..

Greg did it on his HB, he had west texas off-road do his, I'm pretty sure that is who Brian is thinking of.

If this is the same Greg I am thinking of he has a solid front alxle. I assumed we were talking about hydro assit on a stock Nissan steering?

I went ahead and drilled and tapped it. It was alittle different than a Chevy box, but it still uses the same idea as far as where the fluid has to go. I will post pics tomorrow.

Yeah, it does kind of sound like that....not sure why you'd do that on IFS but... :confused:

Cool, depending on which engine you are running, you may need to swap in a stronger power steering pump when you go to hydro assist. The stock pump is pretty low pressure/flow from what I've heard.

Yeah, I have it on my Nissan steering box, but the ram is on a solid axle, not IFS. The ported spots of the box from West Texas interfered with the factory bumper brackets, so I had to do some cutting there...no big deal since I didn't need them. Something to think about though...

There are some deals for hydro assist from venders on the board, and I want to look into this more, can we get those pics please and some info on were to drill and tap? Thanks, T. :smokin:
