Which is What ?

Never heard of a power steering cooler before???

There's one on every GU that I can recall but must admit it's not something I go looking for... and it's been a while but I could almost swear there was a factory one on my TB42EFI GQ wagon as well... not 100% on that now as too many beers ago.

On a ZD30 the pipes travel from the Power Steering on the RHS down and along behind the radiator and then hook up and thru the front on the LH side below the air box. The fluid travels thru the cooler twice in effect because when it gets to "the other side" it loops back and comes out on the LHS again.

Power steering coolers are used on heaps of cars, often they're just steel line rather than having cooling fins.
We used to fit them when we fitted heavy duty tow bars on some models.

Power steering cooler????

Is that just a GU thing???

Might be som thing nissan fitted knowing their trucks will be used to pull some sort of float/ trailer and driving at slow speeds that need alot of steering movement so the fluid wouldn't heat up expand and leak out. You could put it on a GQ if you really wanted to and i dont think i would do any harm.

I'd guess the trans oil cooler is the middle and air con heat exchanger at the front. It should run to the condenser.

Wading thru the Factory Service Manual (for what it's worth sometimes with the aussie variants) chasing info on another issue and the Manual shows all GU's with a Power Steering Heat Exchanger mounted in front of the A/C.
