Hey All,

I'm thinking about getting a B&M Ratchet shifter from my stagea, (i want to do somthing while driving but the missus cannot drive manual)

Has anyone seen one in a stagea, i'd love to see some photo's.

From looking at the info avilable on the web i think i would want a 3 speed (ie 1,2,drive) is that right?

otherwise is it posible to put the S2 trip box in a S1 anyone done that before?

How much do 2nd hand ones go for?

Thanks

Tony.

check legalities for it first mate. gotta be able to shift more than one thing at the time. so from park to drive. cant be full manualised shifting. well thats WA laws.

aFter taking out the console the other day, I was giving this some thought myself.

I can't take the console out while it is in park..

I can't put it in any other gear without the key in the ignition...

Once the key is in the ignition, all the alarms start going "ding" (door open, seatbelt, etc etc)

Can't take the key out of the ignition until gear selector is in park....

Working in the car at a frustrating finiky job with my ignition stuck on and all these little electronic dings and beeps firing at me is NOT my idea of a good time.

Yeah i just spoke to a guy from Rocket Industries, they are the B&M suppler for Aust. and apparently none of them are road legal, so this may have to be one of those... Oh well sorta thing,

Anyone done the S2 trans into a S1... do they fit?

Is the computer to much effort?

none of the are legal but you can get them over the pits.

the ones where you pick up a little lever and slide it from park to drive are ok to go over pits. when you have to ratchet shift through all gears is not.

i think its called a mega shifter. my mate has one in his torana. has just getting it licenced now. cause the pits wont pull it back into first, they will go to Drive to test it.

      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.
