240Z with Silver Mine Motors Electric Power Steering Kit At Willo Springs 2018

Our new Rally/ Race 240Z car is working well and the drivers have adapted to (and learned to appreciate) the Electric power steering. From the in car video it seems they are barely working.
Here is one of John Morton’s laps at Willow Springs
At the end of a two hour race stint, the power steering makes a huge difference on their ability to maintain consistent lap times.

I'm assuming you folks installed the EPS ??? What unit did you use and any videos on the install process ? I'd love to see some of the technical details.

There are no installation videos. The process is straightforward. First install the column which is identical to your stock column. then connect power wires, speed sensor and ACC. Check the picture on the link and look for the picture of wiring harness with writing on it. It tells where to hook up every wire. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Will the steering lock if the engine shuts off ?

[@bajaracer1]

no, if the unit goes off it will have no power steering, so it will feel like a stock steering.

Does this coversion kit fit into the 510?

[@bajaracer1]

No, but I have already finished making a power steering kit for the 510. It is being tested right now. We should have it available late this year for sale. check silverminemotors.com
