Hey guys, its been ages since i was last on the forums!! Anyway, my birthday is comming up and i need your advice on how to spend my birthday money most wisley on my car ;)...

AUTO S2 R33 GTST - current mods - turbo smart dual stage boost controller (switch in dash), boost guage, pod filter, cold air box, r34 SMIC (the rest r styling mods nd dont matter cuz im talking performance :/ ).

Now what is gunna be the better option?:

1. APexi Safc/neo + dyno tune / gear box service

2. Exhuast - full 3" split dump and quality 3" high flow cat keepin size all the way to the back, mandrel bent with high flow muffler...

Now i know most of you will say the exhuast first, most noticable power increase you can do to the car... but as its an auto i find the car isn't always consistent on its take offs... sometimes itll be smooth, othertimes itll launch sluggish or try and skip gears, diff results when u try diff things with the accelerator but i kindah would like a bit more consistency hence i was thinking a tune/afc/gear box service etc.... i dunno... what r YOUR thoughts??? :wub:

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      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
