Anyone Running R33 Gts-t On Track Without Pas?

I was wondering if I dare try and get rid of the PAS on an R33 GTS-t, for track usage? it's damned heavy at parking speeds without it, was wondering if it's practical once up to speed? I would try it without the pump belt on, but i really like to do a PAS removal properly by welding up the quill shaft in the rack, which is kind of irreversible, otherwise you get lost motion at the steering wheel, which gives a very unnerving feel to the steering. Cheers.

With the caster we run and the sticky tyres, the steering gets very heavy over a 30 minute race. Skylines (particularly the 4wd ones) are not exactly light over the front wheels either.

:P cheers :O

Thanks, I suspected it would be too heavy with no PAS, but there is one guy here in the UK doing this, but he's either Englands strongest man, or he uses it for drag racing :(

Power Assisted Steering.

I had the power steering drop out on mine on the street and it was not much fun. There is no way I'd consider it on the track.

The steering on skylines my r33GTST is already excellent, the best feedback of any (road) car I have driven. Why would you want to remove the PAS? Weight?

I want to get as much weight out of this barge as possible, but I think deleting PAS would be detrimental, it's just too front heavy for an unassisted rack, so I guess it wil have to stay. Thanks for the replies.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
