Sorry for the delay. I hadn't checked this forum in a while. It's a fully custom solution. In the picture below, I've highlighted the telescopic piece in the 370Z steering column. My mechanic mentioned that we need to rearrange the mounting points, but I'm not entirely sure what he meant by that. He has performed this modification on multiple 370Zs, and he assures me that it's a relatively easy job.



I recently discovered another great modification. Since I use 280mm wide slicks and have a caster close to -10, the steering felt extremely heavy. I couldn't operate the steering wheel as freely as I would have liked on the track, especially at higher speeds. Fortunately, the solution is simple. By running a constant current through the connector from the steering rack, power steering is always at 100%. The results are amazing. The car immediately feels much lighter, nimbler and sharper turns require less effort. I highly recommend this mod to anyone using slicks or with a high caster. Finally the steering has perfect weight to it.



As a bonus, I'm including my latest video. It was my first time trying out wet racing tires (Hankook W52). I bought them used, and they were quite worn out, but they still performed better in the rain than any street tire I could have imagined. Unfortunately, I also broke the rear camber arm as soon as it got dry and I switched to proper slicks (Hankook C52).
