Subaru Forrester Power Steering Rack Install

This document shows a set of pictures I took while installing a 1999 Subaru Power Steering Rack into my 1973 Datsun 240Z. The car had already been converted to a 1995 LT1 with a WC T5 transmission and I had kept the original pump from the donor car (Caprice 9C1) so I used it.

The steering has a feel similar to a higher end modern sports car. It’s light but still has reasonable road feel. The Subaru rack I used seems to have a higher ratio than the stock Datsun so the steering is quicker than it was.

I raised the front of the engine 1/2” so the main pulley/dampener would clear the plumbing on the rack. This wasn’t the only solution but it was the cheapest and had the added benefit improving the drive line angles. I didn’t take pictures of the new setback plates but I can get Solid Works drawings if anyone wants them.

This is the cross member I used, it’s from a 280Z. I had to cut an opening to clear the valve body of the rack and modify the mounts to accept the different shape. After making the cuts I welded reinforcements to the bottom and top of the member where the cut was made and also reinforced the mount tower as it also had to be clearance.

Subaru Australia’s garage is fairly minor. Half a dozen cars - with room for a couple more - hardly registers on a radar at a time manufacturers such as Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Citroen and Mercedes-Benz display hundreds of cars over hectares of dedicated museum floor space.
“A while ago I was disappointed to learn that some of Australia’s most significant cars
- great performance cars from Ford and Holden in the ’70s - are no longer in company hands,” Subaru Australia managing director Nick Senior says.
“It was disappointing but it moved us to keep cars we consider significant within our organisation.”
The cars Subaru has pulled together track the history of the performance cars, particularly the Impreza STi, in Australia…

2005 Subaru Legacy GT pdf

The latest-generation Legacy is built on a new platform with new components at just about every level. Ali dimensions are more generous than on previous models and, with Subaru now looking to compete with carmakers like Audi and Volvo in the sports sedan market, it has also ramped up performance considerably, with some trim lines like the GT sedan we road-tested-boasting a 2.5 litre turbocharged power plant.

Interior and trunk
This car sits fairly low on the road and the bucket seats feature prominent side supports, so access is fairly difficult. The seats are enveloping and very comfortable for drivers with the right body type. Stockier individuals, though, will find themselves sitting with their trunk and thighs on the side supports rather than in the seat. The seat back is also a bit short for tall people. The driving position is very good despite the lack of a telescoping steering column (it does tilt, however). Headroom is good even for taller drivers, and even with the sunroof. The seat warmers now feature four heat settings as opposed to two on earlier models. Access via the rear doors could be easier….
