Hey just got my r33 1996 gtst imported and registered after waiting months. Car is awesome real happy with it. BUT i got about 350kms out of it after being filled up with 98 with sensible driving no a/c. The car is a pup only 60 000 genuine kms with service records and perfect condition to credit this. Whats going on any advice please. Thankyou, i did do search would like a more indepth explanation.

my guess is that its the O2 sensor on your dump pipe,

i used to get 300km to a tank with sensible driving, changed the 02 sensor and am getting around the 450km to a tank, 400km with boosting on a cruise

well worth the money IMO

I get about 300km a tank in my R34 (205rwkw). Changed the O2 sensor, tuned Power FC, etc, and that seems to be the best I can get. You might have to get used to that kind of economy unfortunately! That is pure city driving though, with only the occasional bit of a thrashing. If I'm driving out in the country I can get up to 450km a tank.

      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.
