all that was there when i got the car was cut lines and the pump and compressor. they were useless to me. i have them still, but i dont plan to put them back in.

No power steering in a 300zx? Should probably put that back in.

Why? not that hard to steer without it.

Those things are tanks, would imagine power steering would be very nice to have and very easy on the arms...since its not a drag car.

All of the lines were cut and plugged with bolts and randomness. It would be a lot more work to put it all back in because I would have to find the parts and then pull the motor just to replace half of them. It was just easier to pull the pump out. I have the pump and reservoir if I should ever decide to put it back in with new lines. Its really not too bad to steer though.

Matt, no p/s will get old for sure. I'd try to locate the proper stuff to get it back.

Pretty much what i was getting at.

I hear ya on that. It usually sucks when I'm tired. It might go back in next winter if I keep the car. That's why I kept the pump and reservoir.

Did they ever make any of them with a manual rack?

Dear god no. Haha. And i dont think they would have come with a manual rack, someone might make one though. These cars came with just about every option available...so im doubting any came with one.

[KA-T_240]

They all had PS.

take out the seals and grease it up and it'll be a lot nicer

Very true. I dont like power steering very much. Only way I would like to have it is if I were autocrossing.

[DrifterExtreme]

why powersteering is awsome, it was used for a reason.

[DelSlow]
