gmorrone1214 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hello everyone, I am trying to find out if a 240-280z manual rack and pinion with the cross-member will fit the S130. I want to replace the reciprocating power steering because it is leaking and I also need room for a bigger turbo upgrade. I know that the zx also had a manual R&P, but I just found a good deal on the 240z set and need to know if it will fit the zx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZHoob2004 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 No it will not fit. At least not without significantly more effort than it is worth. The S30 and S130 are vastly different cars that happen to share an engine family and differential. No structural parts are interchangeable to my knowledge.

Gollum Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 S30 is front steer, S130 is rear steer, so the rack moves opposite direction for a given input rotation. S30 has TC rods facing back, S130 has them facing forward. And while we might split hairs over what "structural part" means, it's true that most parts don't interchange. That said, when parting out S130's there's a pretty good pile of parts that are reusable on other cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmorrone1214 Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Thank you, I appreciate the quick reply's. Not that many S130's up here in Alaska, nor S30. Debating on the manual or the power rack and pinion, I know that a lot of the power racks need rebuilds fairly often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
