manual rack swap ?
Ok I want to swap in a manual rack in my 79 whats the deal with the crossmembers. Ive heard that the crossmember is the same for power steering and manual rack from 81-83? true?
#2
Aye true that... well as far as I know but then I haven't done a rack swap since my '83 NA already has the rack and pinion for the turbo swap... NismoPick?

Can't say that I've ever compared a 79 manual rack cross member to an 81-83 power rack cross member. From Nissan4u.com the part#'s are different... dunno why.

could they be the same because of recirculating ball powersteering or manual rack and pinion 79-80. and power rack and pinion and manual rack and pinion 81-83?

some thread revival, got my rebuilt 79 manual rack in today. I have a 81 power rack and pinion crossmember with the arm running from the coupler to the rack, what else do I need for the swap??, for those of you who have done it.
thanks guys

lol yep last week, cant get my mechanic to do the job (he has a 240z in his shop with bad headwork, can't seem to get rid of the thing) anyway; another question. will the manual rack work under a turbo engine(81)?

date on the lower steering joint is listed July '78- for both '81 and '79 parts. and they are the same part number so it sounds like they are the same thing, couldnt get an answer out of zcarsource.com or msa. ZDRIVER.COM delivers the goods once again
Thanks

According to PPK's FB pics, he's been converting a normal rack to manual rack. Or maybe it just asploded?
