Greetings :D

Recently purchased myself an RS4 series 2 Nismo in black. Loving the car! :D

Only 33K kms on the clock. Drove it 1700kms from Sydney and it ran like a dream.

Already fitted SatNav, TV tuner, DVD player and sound system for entertainment.

I've got a T3/T4 hybrid turbo coming for it, as well as a front mount intercooler kit, hi flow dump pipe, 3" system.

Will be unichipped and dynoed for good 'useable' power.

But I gotta stop spending money on it soon LOL :D

hello and welcome!

the black with the gold mags looks excellent!

and 2 stageas in the family hey? do your parents own an oil rig?

No. No parents who own an oil rig. I stopped living off mummy decades ago LOL

What? A guy can't have enough money for 2 RS4s? :laughing-smiley-014:

I have a decent paying job and no bills to worry about ... so my money go towards my toys!

As well as the Stageas, I have a Suzuki Liana GS sports model (car) ...

And my bikes are GSXR600 race bike (for sale), a Suzuki TL1000R modded and as a Rizla Suzuki replica, and a beautiful Italian ... MV Agusta Brutale.

I think I have too many toys :D

Welcome aboard! TWO Stageas is bound to bring a lot of enjoyment, and when you add that nice lot of bikes it can't hurt.

You almost ruined it with using "Liana" and "sports" in the same phrase - that's a big No-No - but we'll let you off this time. :D

The Liana was a very good car given today's petrol prices, but it wasn't enough "fun" :D But if I had to own one, it had to have sports suspension and bodykit so it at least didn't look too "girly" LOL

So I thought bugger the fuel prices ... time to own another fast car! :D

Here's a pic of the Brutale ... pure italian beauty and engineering ...

Sold the Liana anyway as I crashed my bike and broke my shoulder some 5 weeks ago. No way could I drive a manual.

Now the shoulder is healing and I can drive a car again! :D So I'm driving the RS4 when I can.

see we arent the only ones that buy one stagea and then just have to buy another :)

Welcome looks like a really nice example of a stag ;)

Thanks Kirstie! The Stag is an excellent car. I had intended to buy one from an importer and resell it locally for a bit of $ and then buy another one to keep. But I purchased this one and fell in love with it. And at 33,000kms only and such top condition, I had to keep it.

So now I've bought another Stagea to drive for a bit and then sell to a friend :whistling: But I'll probably end up keeping this one too :laughing-smiley-014:

There's a few friends of mine who are into Stageas. We've already been on a few cruises. We gotta get a "Stag party" happening! :)

beautiful bike :) im a big fan of MV Agusta - especially the F4 CC

You can't go past the beautiful engineering of these things. I admired these bikes for years ... now I own one. :)

Very nice looking Stag you got there, I agree the black and gold looks sweeet. Very low k's too, thats only 3300 km's a year, which is around 8 tanks of the expensive petroly stuff a year. I've only had my stag a bit over a week and filled her up twice already! :whistling: Just keep an eye on things like seals because with such low km's they would have a tendency to perish over time.

Reuben, the car is rego'd in NSW, but are you taking it back interstate, or do you live in/around Sydney (I can't recognise any of the spots in your photos, and can't make out what state is printed on the number plates either)?

      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.
