ScooterZ76 Posted April 25, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 25, 2017 I've seen 2 different "complete" electric power steering kits advertised. One claims it is adjustable and costs $1500.00, $600.00 more that n the other. The other kit sells for $900.00 and claims its very easy to install. Claims everything can be installed in a few hours after old column, etc. is removed. Does anyone have any experience with these kits they can share?

7tooZ Posted April 25, 2017 Share #2 Posted April 25, 2017 We installed this one in the S2000 Zbuild. It has a speed sensor that automatically adjusts it based on speed. Photo shows web site. Works good so far with little use.

dmorales-bello Posted April 25, 2017 Share #5 Posted April 25, 2017 I installed Zpowersteering (http://zpowersteering.com/). Took a full day to install and had to fabricate a bracket to hold it in place (these units are heavy) but it works very well and is completely silent and seamless. You have a rheostat control knob to regulate the amount of assist. It does not adjust automatically according to speed like the other unit mentioned. The topic has been discussed here a couple of times. If you search you will find detailed info.

Chickenman Posted April 26, 2017 Share #7 Posted April 26, 2017 SilverMine Motors has a new setup that looks very complter. Nice parts is that steering column is a bolt in. I gather this is the one OP was talking about for $900. http://www.silverminemotors.com/datsun/datsun-240z/power-steering-kit-electric I'm probably going to order this for my 280Z. But holding off for now as Canadian Dollar has tanked.
