Friday's no good for me as I've got a work BBQ, so it's tonight, or the weekend. I'll be helping the missus move house, but I'll be in the area, as she's moving not too far from me.

Oh and I can lend you a breaker bar and speed brace along with the right socket for wheel nuts too. Should make the job quicker if you can both do tyre changes at the same time. With enough practice we might even shape you in to the SAU-SA pit crew. :)

Sam, tried to call your mobile but to no aval. Anywho, got the extra set of car stand - thanks go to Ash and Darren, cheers boys.

No worries fella, anytime! pitty i wasn't home when you came, heard you had a few issues finding the joint...... :)

Will be good to see your line at a much better ride height and handle ALOT better! Next would have to be ECU after the diff your getting?

Nah no stupid cats with us, and i havn't noticed any around, But i do keep the line under a car cover under the carport so it wouldn't scratch mine!

Yes yes it will look identical to mine......... except for that front bar of yours, I should have kept mine.........NOT!

height adjustable mate, u can choose how low u want it. they are currently set at 355mm front and 345mm back (as per Sydneykids setting), i used to have it set 330mm front and back, but had to raise it for the bodykit. btw the spring rates on these are pretty solid, sort of like your old sileighty, so hope u dont mind the solid ride :P

So how'd you go over the weekend fellas...

...and more importantly when do i get my tools back? :)

all went well... except for a certain nut that got snapped and nearly drove me and Duc crazy :) thanks to Andrew and Darren for dropping over to help out.

was funny when Darren dropped around and Duc was tightening up wheel nuts, and Darrens like.. "is that my wheel brace?" he must have picked it up from you and Darren didnt know :) ah, u had to be there i guess.

      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.
