yeah.. that sure is a great pic!

what is it with excels anyhow? My mate used to live on a corner where 1 would cruise past really slowly (i think to check out the import cars parked there!) and it had such a horrid drone that when the auto changed into second it would wake up their baby!

Now, we all drive import cars with 3 inch exhausts.. we dont wake the kid up!

Man it was just plain nasty. She rang the cops one saturday after they did about 7 laps past!

I havn't seen that car anywhere in town since!

At Super Sunday, Parklands on the Gold Coast,.... a P-plater with a stock civic sedan (correction; I think he had Altezza-style lights) with air-bag suspension boucing up and down in front of the crowds as though he was driving a '64 Impala down Crenshaw Boulavarde in South Central LA. Only thing was, this Civic was banged up, panel damage, paint and duco missing, with bumpers hanging off on one side.

Each time he flicked the switches, it was like a bunny-hopping scrap heap,.... mind you, the P-plater and his passenger no doubt thought they were uber-cool.

Oh, and he ended up breaking something from all that show-boating.

And the police wounder why i question them pulling me over, when this POS is on the road.

the fact you're doing 180+ up the highway wouldn't have anything to do with it ?

More so why my ride heights are anything from 10mm to 50mm, why I lack cats, any form of mufflers, and why i have not mod plated roll cages in most case's.

With a sticker like that, a roll cage that's nice and obvious, and stripped out,... no wonder cops pull you over.

That sticker is definatley going to grab attention. :D

That's not your daily is it ? lol.

      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.
