I've replaced the rack bushing on past cars with solid bushings and it made a world of difference. I agree the Twins have a lack of feel. Not the worst but not on par with some other sports cars. I hope I don't get in trouble to being critical.

No, but, your sentence structure sucks ......

Maybe. I just read humfrz’s response which got me curios.

We have been down this pig path before.

Find a toddler in your neighborhood ...... place the child behind the steering wheel, give him/her an chocolate covered ice cream cone ...... wait 30 minutes ...... then wipe off the excess and let the steering wheel dry.

I find the difference negligible between this and a good hydraulic rack like in the NC Miata. It is worlds better than most hydraulic steering racks on the road today.

Edit: Derp, too late, sorry for the repeated information.






Leather cleaner, I've got a bottle of leatherique and my car is in desperate need of re-application.

Leather shouldn't be slippery and shiny, that's dirt and skin oil sitting on top of the material that needs to be cleaned off.

Actually the answer was right there in Strat's Wiki link:

"The first production vehicle to implement this was the Infiniti Q50.,[5] but after negative comments they retrofitted the traditional hydraulic steering"

Check the source on the second part of that sentence

The Q50 is still using steer by wire and it's usage was expanded to the q60.

Thanks! Wasn't passionate enough of the topic to dig deeper.

Also wasn't sure which was why my original statement was "I don't believe..." and not "There are not any..."

Nsx (not the new) have EPS iirc

My first car was steer-by-rope, it's all up from there.

On later models they switched to an electric pump to save space and weight but it was still hydraulic.
