R32 weight is 1480kg, R33 1520 and R34 1540(just the plain GTR models)

well according to my hpi mag

but the new hsv GTS commo's(6.0L) do 0-100kmph in 4.9 secs apparently, thats a lil scary for a standard V8

v spec r34 have another 20kgs! i don't know what from but i'm guessing the front air splitter!

yeah under 5 sec to 100kph is pretty good for v8's because imagine the 3rd or 4th gear accelleration!

My uncle has a VT II 250i Manual Clubsport I think it is.

It goes ok does awesome no brake burnouts due to its long first gear but really it doesn't go that hard, first time I drove it I was massively disappointed. I've had a few plays with it and it is rather slow compared to mine.

But its stock, mine isn't.

The LS1's do go pretty damn hard with a few mods. I'm sure Chops's Calais will shock the hell out of a lot of us rwd boys. :)

4wd vs rwd.. well its takes a LOT of power to catch and pass a car that has accelerated fast at low speed even if the 4wd is down 100-150rwkw.

and don't forget average power. Its like comparing a 200rwkw rb20 to a 200rwkw rb25. Or even better a 200rwkw rb25 to a 200rwkw rb30. :)

      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.
