is there such thing as a manual steering rack for the s13, or is there a manual steering rack from other cars that will fit?(old school 240z?, 300zx?)

i've been wanting to get a hold of one too, specially since my pump is pretty much shot...and I could appreciate the extra horse or 2....

Any info please spew it...

on a side note, I just read in another thread that the hicas rack has faster turn (whatever that means).

You could possibly use something like an s30 Z steering rack, since they are manual. I believe they mount similar and then it would mainly be an issue of adjusting the tie rods properly.

BTW, that's my bro that keeps posting under MY name! ;)

the hicas rack is quicker, something like 2.7 turns compared to stock 3.4
