manual steering rack wanted

[RagingPanda]

Anyone in here has a manuall steering rack that's still in good shape that I can buy? OR do you know anyone? I need one. I went to a place where they rebuild racks and axels and they've told me that Nissan didn't make any manual rack for 240sx. Alll are power steering. I don't think that is true. Do you know if any manual rack from diff car(200SX) will fit in my 1990?

I've been searching and found that there is no manual steering rack for S13, but I've called Nissan and the guy gave me one with the price tag of $1122....screw that. Just disconnect the pump and cut the lines? DOn't you want to route the two "nipples" aread with one line with liquid in it to keep the rack lubricated? If you just cut it and jus leave it like that wouldn't it dry up and crack in the future?

Either way w/o the pump the rack will burn up. Just run the power steering.

There is a non-power rack in a Nissan hardbody.
