Power Steering or not Power Steering - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I will be installing an SR next month, but I was wondering if power steering is worth keeping.  So i had a few questions.
How is daily driving/racing with and without PS
My civic never had PS and the only thing I didn't like was turning at low speeds like in the parking lot or something, but i could live with it.

Thanks

I would want it.  I can't stand driving cars without it, that and i feel like an idiot turning the wheel 100 times just to pull in a parking spot.  Don't get lazy on the install, hook up the power steering.

i would go ahead and install the the powersteering. i think front wheel drive cars without it have some kind of hydraulic deal in the steering to help out, and the 240SX doesn't have that as far as i know, because it comes with power steering. i've had the power steering belt off my car for over a year. i personally like it better that way. but i don't have to turn my steering wheel as much because i don't have the stock suspension. but if you didn't like it powersteering-less, you can always put the belt back on.
