I was wonderin if anyone could help me.

On hot days/nights my r33 is havin troubles. if I drive along and stop at traffic lights its fine. but if I'm in a line up or turnin lane and only creepin forward small distances at a time. when i raise the rev's then drop them sometime's they drop right out for a sec then pulling back to idle, sometimes even to the point of stallin. I was hopin someone might be able to help me.

My thought's is that it might be suckin in too much hot air through the pod filter from the engine bay and I might need a heat sheild or somethen similar.

Can someone please help...

do you have an aftermarket BOV that vents to the atmosphere?

this could be causing you problems if your idle is set to standard (650 rpm) thats why some people up the idle rpm to try and prevent it from stalling (mine included, idles at about 850rpm..thats how i bought it)

just a thought

I had this problem when i first bought my car, as soon as i shielded the pod filter it has never happened again and its been a long time, so shield the pod, or if you dont have a FMIC put the stock airbox back on with its standard cold air scoop.

      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.
