why would you have a flare in your car :S

but since everyone else likes them ill buy some!

they're required in japan....im assuming you have an R33...look in the passenger footwell and you'll see the flare holder clips ;)

Most of them are gone when they get imported, or taken by guys at the docks/compliance etc....some are still there...Mine was there when i checked out my car at the compliance workshop, so I took it home before they got their sticky fingers on it hehe

yes it's for if your car brakes down on train tracks at night, or on a dangerous piece of road at night. when you light them they just burn bright red and smoke a little. no shooting or anything special.

They are removed at compliance.

I've got one in the GTR and GTST but I've lost the one from the soarer.

Anjo0, if you want to flog some i'll take 3. i want a spare for each car :O

Well there ya go, i only saw the holders yesterday, had the car for just over a month and thought the place where i bought it from had taken something out that should be there. I wish i had looked to see if it were there when i took the car for the first test drive!!!

my 33 has the holder but no flare when i first got my car i thought it was for a japanese fire extinguisher (smaller and more efficient then ours/us) :P

      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.
