We are thinking on it but the solenoid pack is in a different position between the two. The best way would be to get a used 90-93 Q rack from junkyard [first to minimize cost] then trial fit it assuming the input [steering shaft] can be made to line up; a TT 300zx rack is more similar.The only similiar thing we have done is the converse adding more turns to a 91 Q with a 94 Q rack by mistake.
