steering play
ok, I know it has been asked before, but what are all of the possible problems that would cause the steering wheel to move and the wheels to not, for like 1/6th of a turn left, right is solid as a rock, also, I want to do this without replacing anything that would come out in the r/p steering setup from cpracing, when I get the money i'm doing that, if it gets positive reviews, what are all of your opinions on this conversion IMO r/p is much better, but Ive never driven one in an fb (sentras, civics, and an fd god what a car)

Most of the problem is likely in the steering gear box. You can adjust it from the top, but it probably won't do a lot of good. To do it right you have to pull it.

Be careful, I broke the top adjusting screw 3 weeks before Apple Blossom Festival and had to make my own version of the CP Racing R&P conversion...which I love!
The large 4holed adjustment that surrounds the bolt I broke is the adjustment for the pitman play. I had to make a spanner wrench from a large socket to make that adjustment.....it only goes about a 1/2 inch at most. I learned alot by disassembling my dead box just to see how it works.....not pretty. The www.mazspeed.com facts section has the details. take your time, the column nut adjustment part is the worst step, no room to get a wrench in there. Good luck!
