So, me and Bob79280ZX are driving up to MSA today to get him his new AFM. I wonder how much I will be able to resist the temptation of going on a shopping spree while I'm there?????

I'd say not very well

 

So how'd it go fellas? I love that drive from San Diego to LA. You punks!

 

Well, We had a slight change of plans.

First of all, one of Bob's power steering hoses blew apart last night. Then he called MSA this morning to make sure they still had his AFM and they told him "no, we'll have to order another one".

So, we went junkyard crawling instead. Found the hoses he needed. Got a new idler pulley bracket for my car cuz mine is FUBAR and that was about it.

Went back to his place and swapped out the hoses.

Prolly make the MSA run next Saturday.

who needs PS?? NON of my cars has a functional PS unit, if it did it doesny anymore, plus even on my z32 i cut the PS belt, then again i also have the strength to do it..

 

^ Put some nice fat/sticky 245/35ZR18 AA/A tires on your car and then come talk to me about having no power steering...

Rod.

 

i had 245/30/16 AA/A on my z32.. not to mention a race car (autocross)i drive ocasionally is running 316/25/15 slicks with no PS..

 

316?????


Anyway's, Try autocrossing a car like that with the P/S removed. Unless you're Arnold Scharzenegger on steroids... It's probably gonna be a little tough.

There is NOTHING wrong with power steering. It's not like having an automatic transmission or anything. It's there to HELP you. Some P/S systems kinda suck but that's no reason to just trash the whole idea.

Long live Power assisted steering!!!

i dont hate PS, but dont really see the need for it on a 3k pound car..

 

If the car is designed to NOT have it... It's all good. But if you take a car that came with P/S and disable it... It's gonna suck bawlz.


Rod.

 

my z31 needs a new PS system, so i just cut the belt and im in the process of removing it..

 

it's gonna be hard to steer. you'll prolly pur it back in before 3 months is out. or look like the governator on 'roids.

ps--hoov ya has pm

and i'm leaving coronado at 1000am, not 1100 am. WAKE UP!!!!!

 

I have been driving without power steering, since I got my Z running in February. I have got used to not having it. I think it would be weird, if I hooked it back up.

 

i know what you mean, i had mine out for a little and it sucked, while going slow and parking. also the belt was like 15 bucks which also suckd

 

parts will be on there way soon wrecked im getting them! by the way, when do you need them, i have shipping variables, 6 or 12 days, either way 6 costs more. your choice

 

i heart power steering

 

I realised this morning that I parallel park the zed with one hand now That 6 kilos of muscle is helping...and the girls like it too
