Is this picture a 300zx?? Sure looks like it...

Well, the fittings are of minor concern; very sure you can pick those up at a local hardware store. Only thing in my mind would be the gearbox - not that I'm that weak, but moving wide racing tires without power steering on a high ratio power steering rack would most likely create big pain Anyway, thank you very much - If I can't find anything I'l probably end up doing exactly that.
-
Yeah, but the whole point for me would be to get rid of the P/S pump... It would probably be the same if I'd connect the pipe ends... well, that's my last option... will keep it in mind, though...
-
what did you do with the lines? just loop?
-
Hm, yeah. That might be the way to go. I'm just afraid that 225 slicks will not allow me to steer at all. How wide of tires do you drive?
-
Well, but the 240's steering rack goes in front of the axle, correct? So, I assume the subby (thx:) goes in front of the axle, too. I don't want to have to steer left to actually go right
-
Thanks for your comment - what? Can you please put it in a sentence that I can understand? I'm sorry, but I just can't figure out what it means... Thanks again!

Oops! Did I mention I have the LT1 Chevy small block installed? Guess not... Anyway, timing is done via chain, so no belts there. The only things running on a belt are the A/C, P/S, Alternator, and a tensioner; all driven by a crankshaft pulley.

Well, I am definately not trying to run on a power steering rack w/o pump. I agree, that would be insane ratio-wise. Not to mention wider tires... I would just like to be able to pull two pulleys out, one from the A/C and one from the P/S. That way I could use a shorter belt on the auxillaries, and I'd be able to place the alternator where the A/C sits now - that would lower center of gravity AND lose weight. All I need is a manual steering rack that somehow fits.

Do you actually have that 280zx? Can you check if it is mounted BEHIND the front axle? Because if it is, I'm sure I can put it in. The wheelbase is the same, since Nissan almost exclusively changed the body and not the chassis. If you want to do me a huge favor, you could measure it, too and take a picture But I understand if that is too much asked for, so if you don't feel like it, don't worry. Thanks anyway!!!

Hey everyone! I want to convert my Z31 300ZX to Manual Steering. What steering rack could I use "bolt-in"??? Any ideas? Anybody done that before? Thanks!!
