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

As i was discussing with craig, If you've got work to do on your car and dont really have time to transport your car to a mechanic, or want it done over a weekend, or dont know what the fuuk your doing, let me know the quote and ill beat it by a considerable amount and help you out.

Cubes, i agree with the gt3540 being a '3rd gear' turbo, especially the typhoon spec 1.06 rear and also the .82 rear. Very impressive once on boost tho. I have done a little reasearch on a gcg gt3040 aswell, they are much the same to some extent.

i got a gt 30/40 highmount with a .82 and external gate on my car n they are a awesome turbo, when boost hits it hits HARD!!!

1st 2nd n 3rd gear, they arnt that laggy....

then again thats on a forged engine, i guess it'll be a bit laggy on a standard engine, but if u wanted it more reponsive put a rb25 or .63 exhaust housing on it, thats wat i had on it when it was a stock engine b4 it was blown up on the dyno....

Probably a few other reasons why it's not as laggy but how does a forged engine make the car more responsive than a standard engine?

Lighter internals? Rods/pistons etc?

if that was the case, then 1/2 psi extra boost on a car with STD internals would take care of that.

Peeps generally do a rebuild with forged pistons and aftermarket rods to be able to cope with more HP, RPM & strength.........not for better response.

I am not a fan of the 3040 on the twin cam heads they are a bastardised turbo. :)

As you say boost hits hard that = lag.

I'd prefer a much more linear turbo that comes on earlier so it doesn't feel like it hits so hard due to lag.

      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.
