I was able to find this http://www.jegs.com/i/Borgeson/153/013462/10002/-1 which is for a 5/8 diameter rod. However the stock Datsun steering shaft should be around .59 inches while 5/8 inches is .63. Would that be close enough to work? Or should I look into making my own coupler?

Are you planning on making your own splined couplers or buying some? I could not find anything online that would work for the 3/4 inch diameter motor and the 15 mm Datsun shaft. So please let me know if you are able to find anything! Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Hi, This is my first actual post on any forum so I apologize if this has been posted before. I did some searching but just wanted to double check. I was wondering if anyone knew the diameter of the steering shaft on a 240z. Particularly the smooth portion not the threaded part. I found one answer of 16mm but I was just trying to make sure that this is the diameter that I was looking for. Thanks in advance for the help! -Ethan Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

This is my first time ever posting anything on this forum before so I'm sorry in advance if I do something wrong. I am planning to do this electric power steering conversion on my sr20 powered Datsun 240z and I was just wondering how you connected the input and output shafts of the motor to the original Datsun steering shaft. I saw that you said you used a lathe but could you give a little more information on the welding you did? I was planning on just removing a section of the stock steering shaft then welding the input and output shafts of the motor directly to the stock steering shaft. Does anyone think I will have any issues doing this?
