Now if you got your hands on a hicas rack that has a better and larger ratio than our normal racks and depowered it, then it would make sense I suppose as to add a bit more angle from manual steering.
Ladies love the forearms! ; ). Haha jk.

I wanted to try it out and see what it was like as I had the ever so famous PS Line leak at the pump...so rather than making a line with all the fittings for about $70 I decided to give it a shot. It will be better than a non-modified rack with PS still installed and no PS. I hope to see very noticeable gains at sit-still parking lot situations, we'll see and I'll let you guys know.

I didn't know the HICAS rack had a different ratio...I was looking into 240Z and other old Zs that weren't powered to begin with and adapting those. I will look into the HICAS rack now... thanks!
