69SSS Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 If I put a bigger steering wheel like a 20" would it fell like power steering? Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 This is the steering box for the S110, its obviously on the wrong side as its all I could find on google, I'll take some pictures of my 200sx and my 510s box to compare, Not a steering box from an S110... I have one and that's not it. The pitman arm should be on the left. That one is very like the 720/D21 truck box though. 710 (standard steering) and S110 (power) May have to shorten the column slightly . Quote Link to comment
69SSS Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I'm just fkn with you guys. I did a power steering conversion on my 70 510 with a KA, using parts from different model cars. It is a bolt on deal except the crossmember. I have pictures and all the info of what I did. Car its been running with this set up for about 2yrs no problems and same tires. I also used an S14 steering column but you can stay with the 510 column. So much fun with a small car with power and power steering. Will post pics and all the info when I get a chanse. If you want to try it good if not I don't give a F haha. It won't cost much most parts you can steal from pick and pull just don't tell anyone. Troy hermish drove it and loved it, he said it was the best conversion he had seen. Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 i miss having a 510 with a power rack . Quote Link to comment
69SSS Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Power steering: I used 95 240sx rack & pinion I'm pretty sure you can use any year 240sx rack & pinion,complete steering column,center part of the cross member. I used 86 300zx rack & pinion rods. Don't know what other years are compatible! 87 200sx steering connector this is the part that connects the shaft from the steering column to the rack. 95 subaru impreza tie rod ends. Again I don't know what other years are compatible! Rack and pinion will fit perfect with this parts combined together. this is the cross member this is how it will look mounted this is using s14 240sx steering column mounting bracket for S14 steering column all by hand thats why it's a little crooked cut the wings off S14 mounting bracket weld wings from stock steering column to s14 column. you need an extra bracket at the lower end but I don't have a picture of it. I used the S14 column because I wanted to have the tilt and be able to adjust my wheel. welded flanges. and this is the bracket at the end of the column. instead of using the s14 column boot I used a shifter boot from the S14. my good friend Pedro did the final touch. DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR HIM! S14 cluster this is the stock S14 rod and 300z rod. Quote Link to comment
69SSS Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 you have to extend the motor mounts by 3/4" you can see in this picture the cross member was moved 1" back and 1/2" down to clear oil pan. square metal plates where use to extend the center piece. Raising the brackets gives you just enough to fit the rack. Quote Link to comment
69SSS Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 the rack with 300z rods and stock rod ends subaru impress tie rod ends. engine mounted everything clears. Very simple setup. didn't cost that much, and if you weld you save even mo $. 1 Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Thank you for this! I'm not doing it, but you gave me some insight into the difficulty of this mod. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Goichi on the510realm did an electronic assisted steering set up on his old coupe, its all in the build thread. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Dude, nice work! That looks like a lot of effort, and good to see you got it done. Quote Link to comment
69SSS Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 It takes time to fabricate mounts and cross member but not difficult at all. The rest is all bolt on. Quote Link to comment
