Nissan power steering box
« on: May 16, 2008, 06:27:54 PM »
I decided to put a Ps box from my old Nissan that I had laying around, after test fitting the box I found that it was a good fit and it uses four bolts to mount it unlike the Toyota that has three

 

after some quick measurements I started drilling some holes for the tubs to run through



The plate used to beef up the frame and mount the box to



even the pitman are will swing clear and level



after I made sure everthing fits time to weld   :)

now I'm waiting for the psc pump and bracket for the 1.6 to get here

Ryan, I can't thank you enough for that link to Woodward, they have the
parts I have been looking for, for years now. I can finally build the slip shafts
for the IFS sidekick half shafts, and the parts are off the shelf, just have them
send an order.

For all those who are going ??? this is a way to 1 lengthen the a-arms and
2 eliminate the CV cup that is on the inner side of the CV shafts. Now you
might be saying so.... ??? the CV cups only have about a 25* angle capacity
before they are strained, where a standard CV such as the outer can go to
about 40* instead, so this gives the front IFS the ability to travel an additional
ohh lets say 2" over stock parts, in theory making a long travel sidekick. Getting
a little more interesting? well for some anyway, and those that arent interested
that's fine too, but I like a healthy RTI and BTW the turbo sidekick scored a 958
at the High Desert Roundup last year, not too shabby for home growed stuff
