i hear the same crap every morning.....

the kwinana is busy from canning hwy and the mitchell is busy from scarborough bch rd..... those stupid reporters need to get some new material, maybe report on some new roads rather than repeating the same sh*t every morning!

i hear it while im at work :)

if the same roads are busy... wouldnt that mean everyone is taking the same route, and not listening to the reports?

regardless of which route you take, the quicker route is usually busy, and the longer route is slower...

"The Mitchell Freeway heavy, Hutton Street to Scaborough Beach Road"

I hear that every morning, I don't think they even do a check, they just say it. I leave for work at the same time every day and its different all the time....

me and my mate are constantly trying to find quicker ways to get to uni in peak traffic. We live close too (North Perth) so its kind of like a challenge to see who gets the quickest route, regardless of distance, to uni at say, just before 9am :no:

Cos the mounts bay rd off-ramp coming from north is a b!tch and all :)

but regarding the radio... i dont listen to the radio. period.

I listen to triplej, so I dont' get traffic reports :P

however when I'm in workmates cars (carpool ftw) and at work I hear them, only any good if there has been a big accident, or like when that guy jumped off the Hutton st bridge about a year ago (didn't he know how much inconvenience it would cause? :ninja:) They are mainly there for advertising, after saing how the roads are there is always an ad for something that the reporter announces, sounds really cheesy, too, they spend more time speaking out the ad that the actual traffic report.

It's always the same lines too - "Kwiniana is busy in the usual spots, Mitchel is busy from Hepburn Ave to Vincent St". It would be better so say "Kwinana is still clear at the moment, and Waneroo is busier than Mitchel..." or something like that - take it for granted that we know where it'll be busy allready.

I'm always driving accross or against the flow, so I laugh at them each day... well not maliciously, but smugly anyway.

Up marmion, along Whitfords (actually that can get busy until after the freeway), then up Waneroo... past Prindaville Drv (coz everyone else turns there), and up Buckingham.

I don't even listen to the radio anymore - just put a CD on...

      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.
