That\u2019s a definite plus, considering our early Z\u2019s are really climbing in value.\u00a0 This system retains the original steering ratio, as designed by Datsun \u2013 and the system can be completely removed without a trace.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Simplicity of Installation:<\/strong>\u00a0 The Zpowersteering system can be installed in your Z in a day, using common tools.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reliability:<\/strong>\u00a0 Designed to last \u2013 Silent, maintenance-free, and can\u2019t leak! The Zpowersteering system uses the same reliable mechanism used by major auto manufacturers, and our team has been outfitting other classic cars for years.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compatibility:<\/strong> The 45-amp electric motor will function fine with a standard Z alternator in good health \u2013 although, if you haven\u2019t already done it, we highly recommend all early Z owners upgrade to a more modern alternator solution:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thezstore.com\/page\/TZS\/PROD\/12-4068\">Datsun 240Z \/ 260Z alternator upgrade<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adjustability:<\/strong>\u00a0 It\u2019s as simple as turning a dial &#8211; set it and forget it.\u00a0 The Zpowersteering computer senses steering input torque, so that it\u2019s not over-boosting your steering effort.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Affordability:<\/strong>\u00a0 The Zpowersteering system is THE most affordable way to add power steering to your Z.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quick turnaround:<\/strong>\u00a0 We know you don\u2019t want to wait.\u00a0 Simply install the power steering system, place your old column in the box, and ship it back to us.\u00a0 We\u2019ll even cover the shipping!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Safety:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u201cWhat happens if the electric motor fails?\u201d\u00a0 If the electric power steering system ever failed (highly unlikely), the car would steer exactly like it did prior to the power steering conversion.\u00a0 HOWEVER, when a hydraulic power steering system fails, the steering instantly becomes extremely heavy, and potentially dangerous.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the installation article, view the testimonials, and check out the photos\u2026 Then give your Z the steering upgrade it deserves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t own a Z, but you need a power steering alternative for your classic ride?<\/strong>\u00a0 Reach out to us &#8211; We also build units on a case-by-case basis for other Datsuns, as well as several other vehicles.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Questions?<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 Contact us at info@zpowersteering.com<\/p>\n<h2><b>Thanks, and Happy Motoring!<\/b><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electric Power Steering for your classic Datsun Z is here!
