Any headway on a manual steering rack for skylines?

[R32GT-R]

Been looking for quite some time, has anyone heard anything recently on potential options for a manual gtr steering rack?

No answers for me, I have had my wife send a few e-mails with a bunch of "I'm sorry"'s. I would think that my trip to Japan this fall might come up with one but that would be with a lot of searching....personally. Try GTR Garage, I sent him an note last year but never heard back.

I know for sure that the Skyline GXi base model had manual steering, just have to find one.

Been running the oem depowered setup for almost 3 years now. (with the piston sliced). and been loving it, both on my GTST and GTR. Steering responce is much improved (even more so if you play with the preload and get rid of the rubber steering colomn coupler with an aluminum unit).

Some effort is obviously required at low parking speeds, but other then that its only been better. The rack is heavier overall, but I didn't like how light the feel of the power rack at speed, so this is just perfect. And obviosly the cheapest (almost free) way to do it. Cost me 20$ to do mine, and that wasn't even for the rack, that was to replace the steering link bushing with aluminum.

I wouldn't go with a "proper" manual rack anyways, yes you get less steering effort, but you loose the quick ratio of the power rack, and honestly its not that bad.
