Just wanted to know if this is the right flange pattern for my r33 gts-t. Need to retain stock pattern as I have a down pipe that fits that pattern and don't want to have to buy another. Also wanted to know if there are any other options or advice people on the forum can offer as I am finding it hard to get a turbo with the stock flange pattern. Thanks in advance.

HKS have turbo kits available for RB25, some are designed to directly replace the std turbo; thus retaining all other add-ons you currently have connected to the turbo.

I have used a HKS GTRS kit and personally think it's the best turbo kit for the 25. Perfect compromise between lag, response, peak power, etc.

I take it these kits come with dump and front pipe? Thats what I would need as my dump and front pipe is one piece Thats why I am so determined to get a turbo with the factory dump flange.

What ever bolts on to your std turbo will bolt directly onto the HKS kit; except for water/oil lines, which are provided in the kit and replace your standard lines.

The turbo manual shows the GTRS turbo fitted to the std airbox, std SMIC, std manifold and even the std exhaust. I assume you have already replaced the std exhaust and the SMIC with a FMIC, to fit the std turbo; so these parts will fit the GTRS.

      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.
