i've noticed a common trend on these forums where someone posts up that they have just bought a new car and how rapt they are, they detail specs and how much they payed, then always at least one or two people feel it necessary to bum them out and say ' i wouldn't have payed that much' or 'you got ripped off' and so on.

Obviously the person purchasing the car either has plenty of cash so they don't care or they looked around a lot at car yards and privately and most likely got the best deal they could in their area.

Just because you might think you're cool cuz u have connections to people who import skylines and get them dirt cheap, doesn't mean that if someone payed more than what u can get em for that they got ripped off. Or that you have time to spend forever getting the best deal, flying interstate and what not. Maybe some people would rather pay a bit more and buy locally or from a car yard, where they get a warranty!!! It's completely bull shit and i see it all the time on here.

have others noticed this???

just cuz person 'A' can get a bucket of shit 32 gtst for 11K doesnt mean that if person 'B' buys a clean 32 gtst with a warranty and other extra's for 20k that they got ripped off.

f*kn stop being prats and wake up to yourselves

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
