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

In super saddening news, the intermittent transmission fault that has delayed me taking delivery of my new car has returned (despite new vehicle speed sensors being replaced and a full trans service including $1,200 of CVT fluid), so I won't be gong to Melbourne to pick it up tomorrow :(:(:( Hopefully it is a solenoind issue and can be sorted soon, otherise I will have to start looking for another car.

Also spotted James being a champ and dropping off some tyres to me today - thanks mate! Your 33 is clean as!

Bit of a bugger to hear about the new toy man, hope it gets sorted.

She's a bit filthy at the momment, damn this wet weather and working on site. And thats cool, was in the area Andrew

p.s. wont let slip about the new toy either :angry:

Also guys keep an eye on where you buy your fuel from. Filled mine up tuesday with BP Extreme 98 (10% ethanol), pfc was tuned on Ultimate 98. Knock reading skyrocketed since filling up, like to 254 going up the Golden Way in 5th! So just keep an eye on knock reading if filling up at another servo to your usual.

Soooo... like... I'm selling a car for my dad - 1991 Toyota Tarago GLi.

And I receive an e-mail from someone asking if I still have the car for sale, replied back yes etc... and I got this back...

Thanks for the mail,i will like to know the present condition of the car and how much you are willing to sell it to me cos i am buying the car as a birthday gift for the general overseer of my church and i am out of town at the moment on missionary work as i am an evengelist and i really want the car to be a surprise for him,so i wont let him know anything about it until it gets delivered to him ,i am sure he will be very happy with it.I will pay you with my paypal account because i dont have access to my bank account as i dont have internet banking where i am here,i will need you to give me your paypal email address so i can make the payments asap for the car and pls if you dont have paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.com.au and get it set up , after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with paypal so as to put the money through.I have a pick up agent that will come and pick the car up after i have made the payment.

Thanks and God Bless.

Dean.

Are you serious? Suss much!

No way that is kosher.

If he has internet access to email you, and to pay via Paypal, how does he not have access to internet banking? But either way, sif a 'missionary' would send an email like that.

      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.
