In hindsight I never even thought about just switching to redlin D6 and jumped straight to the cooler and redline.

I've never boiled the PS fluid. But I have the Z1 PS cooler. I installed that when I installed my oil cooler. I figured I would do both at the same time. Also I keep my PS fluid level low, so when it gets hot and expands. It does come out of the cap and make a mess. Think this is what is happening with some people. Their have too much fluid in the resv. and it overflowing when it gets hot.

I might of went a little overkill chaging it all out after the boil over but, what the hell right just another 200 thrown at the Z. Even with out boiling over or expanding over that fluid is pretty damn hot though. Probably not that greT for the rack seals and such......see now you got me trying to rationalize the PS cooler

i prolly shouldnt have let it go so long, but i didnt have boil over issues even with socal heat and wide/sticky front tires. i changed it to fresh fluid last month and no change in steering feel lol. im going to do a better PS fluid cooler soon, just going to make my own so i can use a different shaped core
