Silver Mine Motors Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 i'm planning to get wide tires on my z but it's allready pretty hard to turn the wheel when im not moving, so i was thinking to maybe take the power steering system of a zx or some other car and put it on my 78 280z. has anyone ever done this is it possible? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 the rack/pinion design is better than the recirculating ball (power steering ie. PS). I don't advise this because its a lot of fabbing for ultimately what you are going to remove. When the car is traveling the steering becomes lighter. Just have to beef up those arms. But, there are some on here that have done a power rack/pinion conversion from a Masda MX-5 and WRX IIRC. Which I suggest in doing, if you REALLY want to have power steering.

Careless Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 im going to be getting an s14 fron suspension, and using the power steering rack from that, but then again, im replacing the factory crossmember and suspension links, as well as my front frame rails, so that might not be of any help. put some muscle into'er!
