a non turbo r33 in good condition will be starting at 10k.............anything immac will be dear.why bother putting in new engine?,save for a good car or get one imported?-nothing to spend then..........i have had my r33 gts series 2 and havnt spent a dollar on it-->..besides some initial basic mods like some kings springs,tint,mags,air intake,irridium plugs etc.

the truth is they are a highly reliable,cost effective car to run/use.

good luck.....................

why the non turbo may i ask... turbo=fun... :D

there are may reasons to go for the gts skyline.at 145 kw.....its not quite the sameas gtst/gtr, however they are hastle free to run and highly cost effective reliability wise.that is also including other n/a cars for the money and power.anyway nobody can tell a n/a skyline.same attention etc........but will get badly beaten on the track,especially on acceleration.no boost.........=not challenge anyone, or take offers for a race etc.

you can also learn the ways of these cars and mods before moving on.........to higher performance vehicles,so take your time,survive and enjoy it.

very well, assumed it may be an efficiency/reliability matter. kills me (financially) to run the gtst but its all worth it considering the enjoyment i get out of driving it

      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.
