manual rack & pinion? please advise! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

daredevildoug · 05-28-2006, 05:09 PM

my power steering rack & pinion is taking a dump on me pretty soon. ive never had power steering on my sr. My question is, does a 83 stanze rack fit on the s13 chassis? if not, then where would i be able to get a manual rack for our cars? the help is greatly appreciated. thanks

does anyone know the answer to this question? I'm looking for the same type of deal. I've heard 85 Sentra aswell.

why don't you source another one from an s13 chassis?

not flaming, just asking.

I've heard rumors that the manual steering rack from one of the Z31 300ZX models *might* fit... But I've never seen this confirmed.

i just checked partsamerica.com (advanced auto online) and i checked both an 83 stanza and an 85 sentra.. compared to an s13, the part numbers do not match up.

i checked up on the 300zx rack and pinion and compared them..

300zx

91 240 (no difference between the sohc and dohc models.)

Im not looking for a replacement rack. Looking for a MANUAL steering rack guys.

Ive read unconfirmed that a 280zx would fit by chance.

Dont alot of research on the topic, but everything is just speculation... has anyone ACTUALLY done or tried this?
