Hey all, I just purchased a 97 stagea rs4,

Have a few questions to which I have searched for but need more specific answers.

Its getting complied today, I have to take it down to NIZMO PTY LTD to get it done. All the car has is an aftermarket catback exhaust.

Firstly, How good are the guys at NIZMO, and how long does it take? Also, how much in your experience does it cost through them?

What exactly do they do? Fluids/belts/ac?

I haven't been able to get onto them so I hope they wont mind me bringing it down.

Just need quick answers to these questions, any help would be awesome

Thanks

Gavin

It takes 1 day to do the work, but takes 1-2 weeks to get it inspected and the compliance plate delivered from DOTARS

If you have bought this car, who did the compliance approval arrangement with NIZMO?

They should have advised the costs before they issued the approval

When I rang them, about 4-5 months ago, they were quoting approx $4000 plus GST plus tyres

That why i went to IAMSHE, $2750 plus gst and tyres series 1, $3000 plus for series 2

Who/where did you buy the car?

Here or from Japan?

If you have a catback exhaust, they will or you need to remove that and fit a factory exhaust to get it complied

NIZMO have changed hands in the few months, not sure who or waht the new owner is like

If NIZMO issued the import approval, you have no other choice but to take it to them.

Welcome.

Did you get an Import Approval from Nizmo?

If you bought the car in Japan it is the Compliancer who actually does the importing.

Did you buy thru an Agent like J-Spec or Prestiege? Or just deal direct with Japan.

I see you have been a member since January. You should have been doing all this stuff by reading the threads!

If Nizmo have the Import Approval you will have to go to them. If not I dont know what the proceedure is, but I would certainly recommend you consult Phillip White at IAMSHE. Ph 0755717133. Fax 0755715195.

Sorry for the long reply... I took the car in on monday and its going to be finished on this upcoming monday (finally).

Yeah its costing 3500 plus tyres which I think are 120 each, and then I get it. The new guy that owns NIZMO now is very nice and knows his stuff. They had at least 5-7 stageas in there and they also had a blue kitted one with an r34 gtr front which looked gorgeous.

Anyway, when I get it I might post some pictures up, no doubt I will be asking more questions.

Thanks

      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.
