On Saturday night, I finally won a Stagea at auction in Japan

Should be here in approx 3-4 weeks, and then off to compliance.

I do not have any photo's yet, but will do by the end of the week

Series 1, Pearl white, twin sunroof, 17 wheels, exhaust, Dayz side skirts and front and rear skirt, rear wing. Grade 4BB

Stage 1 Mods- Once I get it complied and registered, I will be doing the front R34 GTR conversion, new side skirts and rear bar and fit the 34 GTR wheels. Will need to be lowered too.

Stage 2- more power of course!

Nice one Darrin!

Sounds like what I was searching for, love the Dayz kit (even though you are planning on changing it) and the twin sunroofs. Hope all goes well, who are you getting compliance through? PM me if you don't need it to be public.

Cheers

Luke

Craig told me you had the R34 guards lined up already... did you get em straight from masa or a locally made copy?

Congrats on the car dude, glad you didn't end up buying the damaged one off your mate.

I bought the guards thru a agent Masa put me onto to deal with.

The guards, along with a genuine 34 gtr front bar and the 34 GTR wheels are all on 3 different ships in the pacific ocean somewhere

Will hopefully get them this week or next week

There is a set of moulds locally, but the owner did want to make me a set.

It is good timing too, the yen has gone from 85 to 89 in the last week

The other guy is not really a mate, I just know him!

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
