I'm in need of a new power-steering rack for my s13. I'm wondering if anybody has recommendations for aftermarket racks. I was looking at one on the frsport.com website at:

But...if I'm going to buy one, I want a decent one. The only ones I've found so far online are ARC, FRSport, CVU.
Any advice?

If you really work at researching reman racks you'll probably find that they're all done by the same one or two companies so it's hard to go by the advertisd name brand. That said, the price at FRsport is competitive and no core charge. I checked www.partsamerica.com and theirs ranged from $285-$550 and the cheapest one had a $125 core charge. Nissan listed different racks for the Std vs. HICAS cars so make sure you get the right one.

Hey there:
Cheers! That's what I was thinking re: reman'd racks - I assume they're mostly all the same. I've heard of a lot of guys putting the HICAS rack into their cars for a quicker steering ratio, but I think I'll just stick with the regular (2-wheel steering rack).

Also, if what I've read is correct, there seems to be no difference in the s13 and s14 rack, so they should be interchangeable. Do you know if that's correct?

S13 tie rods are a smaller diameter than S14, and if you use a rack from a different chassis you'll need the corresponding bushings.

All of this can be found easily by searching, steering racks are discussed quite often here.
