a little more progress on the fuel rail, trial fitted them again today, just need a little more off to fit perfect. The good thing is the bonett closes.

Also fitted some steering stops as the 235s foul on the castor rod on lock, so these are adjusted to stop this.

Stuart,,,it's looking fantastic tiger.

Are you going to make heat shields for the side pipes,,,you wouldn't wanna burn that pretty paint.

What makes me laugh is how many Skyline owners and racers love the sound of a V8. Secretly deep down we all love the roar,,,don't we boys and girls.

Neil.

I cannot believe how nice the exhaust looks - cannot wait to hear this thing come to life for the first time.

Clinton and I will have to come over and check out the steering stops that you have made as we will have to build the same for his car.

ill probably be running around like a chook with no head lol. ill get someone else to video it.

Had a productive evening tonight, Fabricated a IAC (idle air control) to suit the new manifold. Butchered the standard throttlebody to do it but hey. Just have to plumb it up.

Also fabricated the breather can and radiator overflow. Ill do all the plumbing 2morro.

Also finished the fuel rails, can plumb them and fit pressure guage.

busy week ahead.

You need to be sure to have the video camera hand for the first firing

yes it runs............whoooohoooo.

It actually went accidently. We primed the fuel system to set fuel presure and check for leaks, and i thought i would give it a crank just to see if we had enough battery and it popped. i thought SH*T, THIS IS GOING TO FIRE....so i cranked it again and off she went. Only ran it for thirty seconds or so but sounded the business and all the vitals were there. ie oil pressure etc.

Had some ECU connection issues as the computer wouldnt let us talk to it, so going to try another one on monday. Think this one may have been security locked. but overall very happy. :wub:

Just talked to stu, He kicked it over but I was mega busy.

Had some issues with the ECU but it still started.

Gunna get it on the Dyno and then get some video of it. Should be good.

      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.
