Yes, I searched!

The HPI project R34 ended up pulling a high 11 from memory, and I'm curious to know what mods were done to achieve it.

Does anyone have a list of what was done??

(I have a mate with a 2-door STi which I suspect is now pulling 12s, and I want to teach him a lesson!! lol)

suspect? he got any actual timeslips? Whenever I've seen an STI at the strip I haven't been overly impressed.. i.e. a $60k AWD car + $10k worth of mods.. still doing high 12's..

The old shape sti's are quicker because they are very light .

Very easy to get the 2door ( v6) to do mid 12's , all you need is a power f/c and exhaust . The current shape sti's have to lug an extra 150 kg !!

With an exhaust and remap, this thing is spinning all fours in the dry (I know, I did it lol) - thats with the clutch out and planting it in first, not a big clutch dump. 173kW at the wheels.

And it's an MY99 2 door STi. My estimate is flat 13/ high 12 based on my seat of the pants experience (and previously owning cars quicker than it!!)

      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.
