I would like to improve the feel of my steering and would like some opinions on what are the best upgrades.

Currently I only have minor suspension mods. whiteline springs, shcoks and swaybars. all my bushes are factory and are in reasonable condition. there are no bumps, shakes or rattles. the steering just feels a spongy and not as responsive as it could. there is very little play and the rack in in good condition.

What are good ugrades to do to increase the response of the steering. and where can I get them from..

I was thinking steering spacer made of alluminium insted of the rubber one, new steering rack mounts.

what other bushes will improve the feel

I am a complete novice when it comes to steering and suspension. I know engines gearboxes and diffs but have never had anything to do with steering.

Thanks!

alloy steering bush will make a big difference in feel

also seen replacement rack mounting rubber bushes made from alloy or nolthane probably worth getting

adjustable castor rods are also a good idea for one of the first mods you should do

I had been thinking about castor rods. but have been told by 2 workshops and SK that spherical bearings are not a good idea.

can someone recommend any? also where to buy steering spacer?

Get the Whiteline castor bushes from the groupbuy, or they make an adjustable rod aswell, with bushes, not spherical bearings.

Steering spacer can be bought off a guy on here, NV_N01, $30 if I remember right, but PM him and get the proper price.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.

      Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
