AHHHHH again L vs RB debate. i think we got a post on that.
interesting plans. prob too young for RB/SR conversion u either loose ur liscence, or kill yourself in it or somone else.
as for original steer is fine if u using original pizza cutter wheels and tyres.
but ask any of the guys with 17"x8" with 235 tyres and drive the car daily. it won't be fine.
u be sick of it within a week.
so running bigger wheels and tyres and driving it as a daily u will hate it.
dont forget most of the Z here aren't daily driven with exceptions of few.so driving it once a week without power steer makes no diff.
as for loos of feel from my experience is incorrect. made no diff except when u parking the car u can do it with one finger.
from memory aren't 260c/280c steering box and rear mount arangement? bit like the 280zx?
if thats the case it wont fit. cause if it was the case im sure almost every z would have that conversion.
now if the car was imaculate and had original engine etc... i prob be against doing mods etc... it be better to preserve it as original.
but if ain't ill just go wild. do what u want.
as for perfomance yeah u could clean up a FG ute that weighs almost more than a sedan with an L.
but even with RB20DET u can clean up the big brother FPV GT and the HSV monsters and still give u an average of 10L per 100km. like to see even a stock L give u that economy.
btw tell ur boss to get his head out of the dark ages. i bet u he drives a later model car with power steer, a/c and leather seats etc.... so if hes so tuff why doesnt he drive his 1960 or 70s classic with no PS or A/C daily and not once a year. oh thats right hes a pussy. bird may poop on it.
anyway welcome.
