Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Hey guys, im fairly new here.

just bought a 32 4door, heaps happy with it. Just needs a bit of love.

Anyhoo, just wondering. when trying to fit a standard front bar to a 32 with a cooler is there any tricks or things to do? I ask coz when i bought the car it came with a second front bar (first one was hacked to bits) second one wasn't it that much better con. I found that i have to cut a LOT out to get it to fit on, especially where the two side vents are, where the bottom silicon hoses join to the cooler.

I have seen a few 32 one here with coolers and their bars don't look like they have been cut around those areas. Maybe i need to mount mine different?

Any help is appreciated

Cheers, josh

Welcome josh, I recently fitted an intercooler to a mates 32 but he had the GTR front on it so it may be a bit different. We had to cut a fair amount to clear the piping on either end of the cooler but if ya take ya time and work out the right amount to cut out then you can make it look neat. Just a matter of not cutting too much out and following the contour of the pipes.

SLED, out of curiosity, what ECU are you using and what made you choose Martin Donnan?

How many squids for window tint if you dont mind me asking? need some 20% all round for the 31....
yeah right. Bit pricier than what I was hoping for....

Well im getting my alarm fitted for $395 and he is doing my tint which is 20% for $220, So i dont know if its cheaper cos im getting both done, but Ric is a top guy, so definatly ring him up and say your Steves mate from SAU :) I'm sure he would be lovin all this extra work that wasnt part of the group buy........

I think because it was prob imported with that 15 year rule thingo, it prob didnt have to be complied like normal, so hence the "exemption" and the SA Vehicle Identification saying its all good.........

Thats what i read from it, but might be wrong!!

Iron Chef would know when he rocks in here next!!

Hey Ryan, I'm running a PFC.

Using Donan because he's possibly one of the best PFC tuners in the country, Jeff is another guy I would recommend .

Check what the guys interstate have to say about them http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ke...43#entry3617443

I've heard stories about Martin that if you don't know him he doesn't give you his best.....can't really comment whether thats true or not but I know Pete Hall (other 1/2 of Willall Racing) pretty well and he has had a chat to Martin about me so hence the reason I'm going there.

Here is a link to my specs http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb...html&st=120 (scroll down the page)

Pete is fisher performance AWD dyno and did they tune if for you

Only a 2WD but you can always drop your centre shaft.

I have realized that just because someone has a dyno, doesn't make them a tuner....read what you like into this but if you want further clarification I'll speak to you at Chalkers Sat night.

Yeah Martin had a quick look and drive of my car this arvo and as I suspected, its a bit of a mess.

I'll probably get Jeff to do mine as well because it needs to be re initialized and started from the begining, plus Jeff is just around the corner.

totally agree... my mate Michael and I are slowly learning on his dyno, finding many different procedures, ALOT of trial and error, managed some very good power with a very safe tune so far...mainly working with PFC's and Microtech, still waiting on my PC interface for PFC however.....but yea many procedures, safe guards to learn....alot of tricks and ways of not doing things are involved....takes hours and hours of playing with and with the right people.

      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.
