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

Contact Smooth Garage and speak to Niko, tell him Kye sent you to him.

They would have HEAPS of CA parts laying around. Niko just finished ripping out his old CA so you might be in luck.

yeah Chris cant answer that one i would depend on the assessor on the day and all sorts of contributing factors

i was making a point that if they deem that mod to of caused the accident its highly likely they will void your insurance

Thats a genuine possibility, but generally if you have your modifications performed by an accredited mechanical workshop (and have reciepts to prove it) then you're fine.

If you've done something like welded a diff or chopped springs etc, then its very possible that they'd use those as an excuse to at least reduce the payment

Best to call the insurer in either case and see what they will and wont insure... and if they do, get it listed. Its worth paying the extra $20-50 per year if it keeps you completely covered.

anyone got a plate for a stock bov wanna have some mad flutter styles yo before I leave adelaide :blush:

all you need is a coke can mate

not hard at all and i think that there is a DIY thread somewhere

goodluck and it seriously takes 5 mins if that

unbolt the bov, cut a coke can and lay it flat, so you have a sheet of metal. then trace the bov on the coke can, and the bolt holes. cut out the holes for the bolts and put the can sheet in between the bov and the flange.....and bolt it all back up nice and tight.....presto u got flutters

      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.
