Does anyone know steering rack ratios and travel distance for all racks that swap into 240sx's?

I thought that they were the same...

I haven't heard of anyone swapping racks for a quicker ratio in S chassis....

I could be wrong though.

HICAS rack is faster ratio..I forget the exact numbers, but they've been posted on FreshAlloy in the past.

hmm thats awesome! i got hicas! anyone else have a drop in power steering when one quickly turns the steering wheel one way then the other. i find myself in bad situations when autocrossing where i have to put all my might into the steering wheel to make the car quickly cut left then right and vice versa. i am thinking this could be related to the power steering rack and not the pump because i allready replaced my old pump, and there is no improvement.

HICAS rack is the shit. It's probably one of my favorite upgrades on my car. Getting this car to feel more like a bimmer was one of my top priorities. Stock rack sucks ass for two reasons: numb steering and shit response.
