Gen6 is there a quick-turn ratio rackn pinion out there?
i'm in the process of converting my ae92 to an levin gt-z. i was wondering if there is a faster turning rack and pinion i can buy to make my steering more responsive. and BTW my ae92 is a GT-S model.

any help is appreciated.

The sedan rack can turn tighter if it helps.

No they are not!

We already had this discussion before on this forum and we checked out the different steering racks on differences. Which there were!

But I'll have to look up the topic if it is still around. I'll get back to you on that

Oké...I already found it!

steering racks

There are some differences, and the GT-Z rack only uses 2,5 turns lock-to-lock whereas the GT-S power steering rack has 3,25 turns lock-to-lock.

GT-Z racks were only available in right hand drive cars... so you can't use one anyway.

you're best bet is a steering ratio quickener:

they don't make one for any car that I'm aware of... they're usually custom.
