question for you guys and girls -

i'm looking at a newly privately imported skyline/silvia but it hasn't been complied yet.

id say ur best bet would be to steal his wallet... make a copy of his licence... then go to his house and abduct his pet... if its a cat... cut its tail in half and deliver it to him saying if anything happens then you know where he lives and how to get into his house... if he has a dog... cut off one of his childrens fingers and do the same.

i like dogs.

tell him you are samoan and 6ft3 and weigh 150kgs and you need this car as one of your 6 brothers crashed your other car while you were in jail for assault with a deadly weapon. that should do the trick.

You could give him a post dated CHQ, then he cant cash it untill that date.

hmmm that sounds like a good one.

and I'll get his driver's licence etc i guess...

Roy and Baron, thanks for the useful suggestions lol

If he were to run away, can't he just wait till that date and cash the money in then? Would he be able to do this or?

if you are looking for a sylvia or a skyline 32 you will be a lilttle gibed... i got mine for only 6,500 on road, because over there they cost about 2,000 aud....

where as the 33cost a little more... just talk to the guy and be legit about it, tell him you know how much they cost over there, and see what happens

oh btw if you are wondering how mine was so cheap its because my friend imported it for me

hope it helps

    • 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.
