now i have full turbo back exhaust with hi flow cat and 10psi (.7bar)

I am still not sure if i will hit 13s or not....... probably depend on the conditions ie how slippery the track is and how cool the air is.

I can. A 13.9 is not a big ask, it's well within the power to weight ratio. However the curse of the skyline is a lack of transfer in the rear chassis cradle, causing excess wheelspin. It's not helped by lowering the front alot either.

Alot of guys have good terminal speeds without much in the 60'. I think $105 spent on the rear chassis will see a few guys & gals run much better times.

Its a whiteline kit , West shock in subiaco can get them in- cost $104.

I have yet to plug mine in, slack - raining - yet to borrow a trolley jack take your pick.

You can use the kit (just some nolothane bushes) to make the car squat (for traction) or put on another way cause more wheelspin for drift.

Doesn't do a thing to the cars looks Adam32. And has little bearing on street driven handling.

Think the part number is; KCA349. It takes a week or two to send over from the east. Install is very simple but as i said before I am Mr Slack-bastard.

Yeh i might make a run but it depends on circumstance closer to the date. See how its running and that. I will have one new tyre and 3 1/2 worns ones on dont know how this will affect it but dont wanna commit and then bail at last minute. Can i just turn up on the day or do you need numbers now?

I know that insurance is void but im sure ill be ok. Last time i went on public track day i saw a jz70 hit a grease spot and slam into the wall OUCH:eek:

Ive head that the grip compound on the track is a bit strange and u have to launch higher and stuff. Oh well let pop the cherry on this bitch eh:D *goes off to find a helmet*

      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.
