I found a s2 wing & put it on my s1, looks a lot better. If you want the wingless look go with the flat boot or stealth wing.

If I had the time & money I'd probably get a custom stealth style wing with a stop light like on the gtr wings, can't find anything like it on the market though.

i have stock s2 wing... on my s2 funnily enough

I dont mind it now so much, before owning i hated it, eh

pref a do-luck style flat boot but sourceing one has been bullshit

only 1 ive seen was on a car for sale4, and he wouldnt sell even with swap

s2 wing with light is good because it means i dont have to mount a shity "hi rear light" on the ass as its stock

but then again I hate the look of the side water guards but i wont take them off cause i hate turning on wiper after cold night or rain and getting a shitload of water inside the car, used to happen on my old car

heh, hate mixing use vs looks

eh, geting some 18" for hte bling ima leave the rest, im pretty happy with the rest

      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.
