Hey everyone, first time poster here. I was wondering if anyone here as messed around with the idea of electric power steering.

My soul purpose for this would be to increase reliability for high performance driving. and essentially, one less thing to worry about by removing the need for fluids via a hydraulic steering system.

I've been messing around with numbers. how much weight the motor is actually moving. I was thinking about getting the electric servo from the 2nd gen versa and adapting the steering angle sensor but I don't know if the weight of the Z would cause it to burn out faster. The entire system would be insulated from the heat of the engine and surrounding components.
