has the bump steer in the fd 20b conversion ever been fully corrected yet? Im getting people say yes to there setup, and people saying no to the same setup, so is there anyone who has the best way to the conversion, for the the bump steer problem

The best way would be to go all custom and leave the steering rack in the original position. My friend is doing a 20B FD conversoion, and he solved it with mounting the front cover of the engine over the steering rack, utilitizing a flat aluminium plate for oil sump. He will be running an external barnes dry sump setup.

Mine was done without modifying the subframe or steering rack. Thus, no bump-steer.

Red if you dont mind can you give me some pointers, on this setup, i was a team memer till i moved of Alert Diaz supra, competing against Nero at titan motors ports john sepherd with the 8.7 sec dsm, andrew with the low 8 sec 350z... well anyways my point is that this class is meant for the 6 cylinder cars, but those car have nothing in it, i wana try to atleast keep most of my **** and go 8 s and i know i can do it with the 20b, but i really would like my power steering. how is the weight distribution on your car when u put the 20b in?
