3SKE Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 Howsit guys, I'm building a 1980 4 door ke36 with 3sge beams and 6 speed. I have most things sorted and have started the conversion, but I'm wanting to put a rack and pinion steering set up in it, Ive done a bit of searching on the net, and have found topics on this but no straight answers or builds where it has been done. Ive got a set of s13 silvia coilovers that I will adapt to suit ae86 hubs, whats the best way to go? ae86 crossmember and steering? Or something else, Like kp starlet? Josh Quote

Josh KE70 cross member, shortened LCAs, S13 lower cast strut, 4x114.3 or ke70 (ae86 stud pattern) hub, s13 coil overs and a tophat to suit the ke36 Few ways to shorten it... Check my buildthread and have a look at how I did it or LOOK AT SAM Q :) Regards jordain Quote
philbey Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 Hi there Josh. The best info we've got will be this thread: http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/39042-ke-2025-rack-and-pinion-conversion-guide It's an RP conversion into a KE25, geometry and so on will differ for the KE30, but the general principles will remain the same. Long and short is, there's a lot of work in this mod. Looking forward to seeing more of your BEAMS setup, post up a rides thread! Quote
