Power Steering delete advice.
 
Hey guys, has anyone removed the power steering unit on the 370z before? I am the kind of guy that doesn't mind removing everything on the car just the save weight. I am a retired racer, now a casual track day driver. I had a full race Honda that I was using for my NASA racing series. I am thinking of doing the same treatment to the 370z. Does anyone have any experience with that? Any help would be apprieciated, thanks.

Ben.

You really think the car will light enough without PS. I have driven 2200 lb cars without PS but a caged 370Z is going to be around 2800 lbs with most of weight over front end plus driver and fuel. So 3000 lbs of car/driver.

I'm looking at electric PS but haven't even considered going without PS.

Hey Shamu, thanks for the fast reply. I think you really made a point. I'll be happy with 3000 pounds with driver. I'll keep you updated about the progress of my car very soon. I am planning to do some time attack in SoCal. Mainly Buttonwillow, which happens to be closer to where I live. I am looking forward to seeing you guys soon :)

Ben.

I've got a fully prepped 370 fs. Could save you some money.
