just want peoples experiance with them or anything u know on driftline, as this is another option that my car will be taken to get work on.. i think as a car enthusiast group we should all stick together on topics like this, keep the shit work shops out of business and the good ones running..

many people would be left with quality work from trusted workshops, insteed of making the same mistake over an over again, cause we cant post bad work done by a certain workshop.. pm me if needed, if driftline is shit tell me, i cant and alot of others cant afford to loose money threw a shit workshop with shit workmanship..

if people already no bad stuff from driftline then im not starting anything here, but if all comments are good with positive every were, then i have nothing bad to say except that my car will be going there..

if you no something bad or good just tell me, i am new to this sort of stuff..

big thanks chris..

I know nothing about them, but Shan aka funkymonkey was associated with them and just had his 32 sprayed matte or satin black by them...He was telling myself and another sau vic member to get our cars sprayed there, so I doubt they're dodgy.

lol yeah, i do some work for them when i get the time, but now I'm in brissy. My car's there atm in pieces gettin resprayed satin black.

we also did Adam's red widebody R32 and justine's blue s15 to name the more famous SAU members... plus we get a lot of regulars in an out from SAU... mostly to clear EPA's, dings, services, clutches, intercooler installs etc.

We try not to do half arsed jobs, unless the customer really demands it (ie doesn't wanna spend money and cut corners). We don't do "habib racing" jobs... and if you come in asking for one we'll tell you to GTFO. Mainly of late we've had people who got dodgy jobs done (like a dude who had his widebody kit superglued onto his car by some workshop... we had to grind it back to metal and redo it from scratch) who come in to get it fixed properly.

easiest thing to do is call Roshan on 0425855540 and talk to him... you can even say Shan sent ya off SAU and he might give you a warm hug when you walk in.

i brought my car from there almost 2 years ago, and have always gone back since.

since then rush has become a good friend of mine and will always help me out when it's needed.

he can be pricey, but once you go back to him a few times you build up a "trust fund".

if you want things done properly, he will do it properly. he's good for that.

he's been real busy at the moment and he's quite hard to catch, but he has his mechanic monty running the show when he's occupied.

They are a very capable and underated workshop that can do almost anything to all types of cars (not just inports)

considering when i visited last week they had a holden up on the hoist, and rush and his family all drive holdens for dailys.. haha.

so much shit he cops!

      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.
