this was around 18 months ago but they will still have them

its a mac solenoid, but just search for MAC products and there is a place in australia that sells them, i sourced mine from a place in victoria which i found on the net, can't remember their name, they were in ringwood,

possibly these guys www.pneutech.com.au

my boost controller is one of those HYBRID 2 or 3 stage things... simple but the solenoid holds like a f*kn pitty holding a cat

i noticed the solenoid is the same as the e-boost one, and the apexi one. just got their own logos/colouring on them

so try and sus the part number out for that solenoid and you should be ok, when i shorted my solenoid out i needed to buy another one, just the actuator was faulty so i payed around $35 delivered for it...

the whole thing like i said is around $50 - $60

Honestly i dont think going to consumer affairs will really help you because you can't really prove that they took it off you, i think your better off cutting your losses and trying to source one somewhere else

But how ever you go about it, good luck getting one :)

      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.
