cabo Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Yes I have done my searches for this information. Power steering specifics are hard to find. A friend told me he has seen several S30 Z cars fitted with the power steering rack from an early Nissian Maxima. In the early 80"s the Maxima used the L28 engine and some had power steering. It is suppose to be just about a bolt on. Has anyone had any experience with this swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PROJECTRB240SX Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 From The Napa Pictures It Looks Like It Would Be Very Similar To The Stock Rack..... From Crude Measurements A Reversed Skyline Rack Could Be Made To Fit With New Top Clamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcarnut Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I don’t know what your friend is talking about, but it will not work. The 1981-84 Maxima power rack is located behind the front crossmember (just like on the 280ZX) rather than in front like on the S30 cars. The early Maxima rack is almost identical to 280ZX power rack. The only difference being the positioning of the fluid tubes because the Maxima has a front engine oil sump whereas the 280ZX has a rear engine oil sump. If putting power steering on an early Z car was an easy “bolt-on†procedure then everyone would know about it. BTW, the Maxima had a 2.4 liter L6, not the 2.8 liter.
