im contemplating respraying my stagea in a different colour...probably a silver with glitter (so there isnt too much difference to the colour of the door jams and engine bay)

go two tone. white on top, with a coloured pinstripe along the bodyline, (the bodyline above the doorhandles) with a solid colour/pearl underneath. white bonnet and roof... old school, but nice.

Thats what id like to do with mine if i cant get the colour match done properly for the kit. Silvery white on top, ice green on the bottom, with a 5-10ml thick metallic blue pin stripe. if i could use photoshop, or even HAD the dam,n program, id try and whip it up.

Silver is still looking pretty good...

im liking the gunmetal rims on the silver stagea

...just wondering if i should settle with respraying my car the same colour and putting the extra funds elsewhere?

yep. Even if you have a pearl put in the clear coat, a blue or green or etc. cheap way to make it stand out

i spoke to the painter about that, but he said that the pearl wont stand out too much because the base coat isnt the best for it

My car was orginally silver, now black with blue pearl... not sure if there is any blue about it LOL hasn't been sunny enough!!

All the door jams were done, everything except the engine bay and the console inside.

I think these are the only Stagea's I've ever seen in non-standard colours... I don't mind the first one, hate the colour of the second one, and the R34-fronted one looks close enough to the R33 dark purple to get away with it and look good in the process...

      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.
