I need to order a Power Steering Switch. This is the unit on the passenger side of the engine bay, tucked up between the strut tower and the firewall.
The vacuum hose runs from the resonator over to it, and it all taps into the powersteering hydraulic block that mounts to the strut tower.
I know I've even seen pictures of it, but our seach is STILL down. I'm hunting for pictures to clarify, but please let me know if you guys know what it is, searching at courtesy hasn't provided anything solid, this is as close as I've got, and I'm unsure from the picture if it's correct, because the piece I need has 2 nipples going off the end for the vacuum lines.

EDIT:
Ok I think I might have found it but the picture they have is terrible and it doesn't actually mount where they show/how they show, but I think this is the one, and of course, there's no damn picture of it:

I believe the part # is 497636N200, but for the best diagrams and true part numbers, bookmark this site, http://nissan4u.com/
^^^ Second that for catalog. However, I believe the PN you're looking for is 49761 7P900 for the 01 SE. We'll let you decide. 

Thanks very much for the assistance guys, Nissan4u is well set up, great resource I've never used it before.
Anyways it seems like the right part here:
http://nissan4u.com/parts/info/49762AA000/
"49762AA000"
The "49761 7P900" is the Switch itself, not the air actuator valve. And I'm glad I asked, and you posted the switch PN, because now I'm not sure which part I need. I assume the Switch activates the Air valve, so now I need to diagnose which one is at fault......
