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

D_Stirls, Nice find..

When I removed my bushes I did the same except used a drill bit popped the middle then used a hack saw to cut the outer shell. Once the shell was cut it popped out without drama.

I then used a piece of exhaust pipe and smacked the new Noltec bush in.

they sell r33 for like 280 each rotor there!

My brother (GROWLY Custom Machining) will do basic slotting (RDA/DBA straight slot design or curved slots) for around the $40 mark so remember this when you by new rotors, it might be cheaper to get plain rotors and get them slotted. He will do them cheaper again if you get a whole set done.

This is my rotors he did, something like this would be $55.

oohhh, where can i get a 33 gtr placard in case i get pulled over for my 19s?

as nos man pointed out R33 are dearer that price of $129 ea is for falcadoore

i see supercheap sells DBA slotted rotors, 129 ea.....would they stock them for a 33?

Matt the owner of Growly Custom Machining told me take all the prices too him and he will make sure it doesnt work out dearer how much farer can that be

Matt is a top bloke and is here for the community whislt earning a honest living doing what he loves

BTW Matt re drilled my GTSt rotors to suit 4 stud while i waited for my conversion :)

If you look at that picture those rotor have been drilled to 4 stud as they are fitted on my 180sx.

The $55 was for my design which involves more machine time that the standard sots and hence are more expensive. like i said before the basic slots are around $40 and cheaper when you do all 4.

He'll slot any rotor provided they are thicker than the minimum thickness.

      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.
