Well we don't really have a wealth of information on Australia models, even with all the great work James did when he was in Australia.

Contacting Harvey is a great idea. Harvey has the WSM manual, he may have suggestions.

Keith is correct what he says, they are not too easily interchangeable. I looked up the manual, and interestingly the electronic road speed control model is also described in the OZ manual.

It would not be a bolt in solution, without also using the ECU.

If your '92 ECU is pre-wired for the power steering and also has the power steering control algorithm on board, then it will be easier to attempt. If the ECU is not wired or not compatible, then you have to swap in a different ECU and add the wiring also.

So far as I can see from the schematics, the steering control solenoid current sensing circuit gets two signals from the ECU, one from VSS2 on road speed, and one on engine speed. For the electronic steering to work properly it will need both these signals fed to it.
