Tilbrooks have closed down in the past

They then reopened and looks like they are now shutting down again?

Yeh i change my jocks quite often also........... Oh hang on wrong thread..... :thumbsup::)

Nah seriously tho they have been around for quite some time, must be a solid reason for them to be closing, never actually took my car there as i use Boosties, but good luck to Mark and whatever he decides to do!!

IT'S OFFICIAL TILBROOKS IS CLOSED AT ELM ST AND RELOCATING TO ANOTHER LOCATION AS OF 31/07/08

I have spoken to Mark today and he asked me to say;

I would like to thank all those that have supported me over the years I really appreciated I have enjoyed working on your cars it and loyalty means alot to me.

I would like to wish everyone good luck in the future.

I will be doing Custom work and Building Race cars from another location, as I have found employing people to to work at my work shop has not been benificial for me or my customers so that is why i have made this decision to lease out my premises and relocate to personaly do the work for my customers myself with the best contractors and same great suppliers, I will still be listed in the yellow pages, Thankyou once again!

But on a better note Chad and I have nothing to worry about as Chad said befor we are still having Mark work on our cars :D

      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.
