This is my journey relocating my steering rack in the 370z, it was not easy but 100% worth it.

What was happening before that necessitated the offset rack spacers and now the install of this kit?

I was running offsett rack spacers before. The kit itself ran perfectly fine for 2 years but my local tracks tech was giving me crap about the offsett rack spacers giving me slight play in the steering. I will say that I think the play was normal as I replaced the rack at one point but the play was the same with the new rack. It never got worse over the 2 years I ran with the kit but I just don't want anymore issued through tech at events. That’s the main reason I relocated the rack.

@@CJdriftZ how bad was the tie rod misalignment that it required the offset rack spacers? Was it overcentering or getting bound up?

@@MagnumX2000 Gketch sells their kit with offsett rack spacers, It is not recommended to run without them or a relocation. I have never tried to run without spacers as it would 100% over center at that point. There would probably not be any clearance for the inners as well, they would most likely hit the wheel at full lock.

@@CJdriftZ interesting, I just installed the gk kit on my g and didn't see anything talking about the offset rack spacers. It honestly seems to line up well to my eye so I wasn't sure why they were needed. Haven't driven it yet though, so overcentering could certainly be an issue

@@MagnumX2000 Yeah, it could be a number of things, but ideally, I would run offset rack spacers if you are running the extended LCA’s on top of the super lock kit. If you’re just running the super lock kit knuckle adapters, you do not need offset rack spacers. Also, I think it depends on how extended the LCA’s are on each car because we could have completely different setups as far as alignment. Pretty sure g37’s have a narrower track width upfront as well which would change how we both set up our angle kits per chassis.
