If you get this done keep us posted as I'll bet many more first gen Z owners have wanted to do it.

If the tires are near stock width, even she doesn't need power steering....Zeds have the easiest steering....gets tougher if you go wide however....that's not an easy install from what i've seen.

Ahh..., Richard, I wouldn't use the 280ZX rack as it's rear mounted to the x-member which means if you turn the steering wheel right the car will go left & vise versa... not a good thing.

Check on hybridz.org. Members there have done Mustang racks which look like they're not such a good fit, but the Subaru WRX rack is really a close fit. Not quite bolt in but I don't think you'll find anything closer for p/s on a Z. A search should bring it up.

check the tire pressures...

I have found that a tire thats low on air will be hard to turn, and when filled up to the max pressure, steers way better. plus I go 5 to 10 psi over max, and find I get better grip from the front tires. Tires are going to wear anyways, and with prices on normal tires these days, who cares about getting 50,000 miles out of a tire when the car is driven only 10,000 miles at the most a year.
