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.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I am probably calling this too early but I think I found what part of my problem is. I have a couple of dents that are fairly close to each other and I tried to fix them individually. Recently I put one larger coat across all the dents and sanded it and for the first time ever it's all even except for the edge where the bare metal is, I just need to put some putty there. I'm ordering some better longer blocks that are more flexible. Other good news is that the other repairs on my panel are flat even with the guidecoat. It's these 2 dents which are an absolute c*nt l lol.

      Murray will have better input, but I'd be going with less filler, and aimed at the low spots mainly, and hence won't need as much sanding, which then means get the guide coat on earlier. That's how I'd do it, BUT, I'm not a pro, I'm a DIY hack who will then get the shits halfway through, and have one spot awesomely repaired, and the other spots look like a 3 year old was left unsupervised with workshop tools...

      Where is the most common place to locate it? Disappointing that Garrett won’t make a fitting for it since they know everyone will use it

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
