Yes they are the soft compound semiracing / road tyre with the few squiqqly lines.

Have no idea how much to Melbourne but to answer the obvious question , the reason am selling the 17's is because there is a semi sponsor I have who want's me on a different brand of tyre for the SES.( Speed Event Series )

Enjo Speed Event Series , Mt Clarence , Wellington Dam and Meelup hillclimb , Collie powerhouse circuit , Wanners short and long track. No rollcage reqd and a good road car is fine cos they are only 2 flying lap timed sprints repeated about 5 times during the day.

Hehehe. Would be nice, but the Silvia is the track car for the time being. GT-R will have to stay as the family car for a little while longer. Thanks for the info on the events. May have to skip the Albany event but have diarised the Wanneroo one.

Cheers

Mate , there round and black and have virtually new tread.

COD to Melbourne would be expensive but sending by regular freight would be a lot cheaper.

wtf?

What's with the pictures , there tyres , you know , round and black.

As the top post says about the 16in ones , prolly only good for drags or lap days on a dry day.

Get on the phone and find out the cost of transport from your end.

That way you can pay the shipping when it gets there.

Gordo

we might be able to go halfs for the freight

Well as slicks give the best grip , one would assume that the less tread the better.

These are JUST legal but have been told they will go for a while bald.

      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.
