just incase anyone doesn't know about Charmaine's car, here it is:

THE LASER:

I absolutely love my car. It’s a 1991 Ford Laser Ghia. I bought it with 17” chrome rims and it was lowered. I was like “Sick! A pimped car!” But after closer inspection I discovered the car was lowered illegally as the springs were cut. So not too long ago, with help of a good mate, we put in new lowered springs, suspension & rear brake pads. Still need to replace the front pads. The car was all good and well now but I couldn’t drive around without some sick cranking tunes. So the next step was to upgrade the soundsystem. This I can also thank my good mate for, as he was an absolute gun for helping me install all of it. A few hundred dollars later ;) my soundsystem consists of a Pioneer sub, Kenwood 6” splits, Pioneer 6x9”s, Boss 4 channel amp & Boss mono block amp and a sexy Alpine headunit. Doof doof much?? The interior and engine could do with a bit of work I suppose, but hey, it’s only my first car and it gets me to where I need to go. I’m not sure spending copious amounts of money on my first car would be the best idea because eventually I will have something better. Either that or the fad will end. But somehow I don’t think it will. I’m keen at the moment for a new exhaust, cannon + extractors. I love driving. I feel happy when i drive, the feeling of just being able to get away from everything. Like an escape. Especially with the music cranked loud XD

Yeah. My car is the sex.

    • 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.
