Brown

1987 SL VL Commodore 5 Speed

Parked at Epping Station at 7.30am

Came back at 12 noon today, and I see an R31 Skyline P plater in my spot.

Tried to look for anything left behind but didn't find anything, as the rain poured down like crazy!

note: these pictures are a few months old, the car has venetians & rear S2 grey headrests.

I only have 3rd party insurance.

Clublock wasn't used (I know!)

I have Solex locks which probably got ripped out anyway.

I just want my car back please!

Cops are looking...

When I saw the colour and the venetians mentioned before the pics loaded (connection is a little slow here), I thought I might have seen it on Monday night on White St, Parkdale. There was a brown one with those blinds on the windows that went past me on a P plate.

As it happens it was a wagon with the venetians not a sedan, same colour though.

Sorry to hear mate and hope you do find it. :)

Car has been recovered at 12 noon today at McDonald's carpark (suburb unnamed). Great work from the police.

I am relieved that I got it back, cuz that was the worst 24 hours of my life.

The fancy things were stolen, but the car is undamaged and roadworthy.

All Sony gear were ripped out, Autometer gauges/tacho, aluminium gearknob, 2 air fresheners, and 3 pairs of shoes.

They travelled 50km.

Thanks to he guys that helped look out for my car, made me feel much better.

Good to hear you got it back mate

Also good to hear someone giving credit to the police rather than just slandering them and calling them useless :O

they are useless tho, the police didnt find it, there was a reported abandoned car most likely, and they were called to check it out ...

      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.
