what u mean haysey lol im thinking off meshing behind it painted black and run channels under it running away from the engine so as to still look right

what i mean is duct tape and cable ties can fix anything! look at your FB :)

on a more serious note, some sort of mesh could be good, or a gutter under the bonnet hahah

done some custom stuff today come up alright so heres the latest addition to my new baby haha

Nice car - although I'm not usually a fan of 33's, yours does look really nice.

Not a bad job with the gauges, too. I did mine on Thursday night. It's not perfect - they're not quite right when it comes to spacing between them - but I'm happy with it.

Mine's an offcut I got from a place in Castle Hill, in the complex where UAS used to be. It's polyethylene, and I think it's around about 10mm too. It was already black, so there was no need to paint or colur it in anyway, it already comes pretty close to matching the colour of the AirCon control panel.

It was pretty hard to get the spacing right, especially since we did it at home with a hole-saw which was 51mm, and the gauges are 52mm, so you have to file out the extra space to squeeze them in.

      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.
