Message Whats up fellas, its been years and years since I have posted on this site. Been out of the Z scene for quite sometime since I have been racing sportbikes and also been fixing up my 03 Cobra. She finally put down 687rwhp at 15psi with a 10.2 A/F with a twin turbo kit.

Anyway back to the Z. The last few times while driving I have noticed the steering is slushy. I have to turn the steering wheel a bit before the car even turns. So if I turn left then go straight the steering wheel stays aimed left like the alignment is off. However, when I turn right then straight the wheel is aimed to the right. I have never experienced this before so I want to assume it's the rack. It has been making a grinding sound when I turn the wheel when pulling out of the garage.
Lastly I HATE the clutch system. Seems once a year I loose pressure. Noticed it going out and sure enough, this morning car wouldn't go in gear. Last year I replaced the slave cylinder along with the clutch master cylinder.

Thoughts?
