its just a few nuts to take it off.

the you can pick up rubber grommets from repco to cover up the holes.

if u want something more permanent then yeh any panel beater will be able to weld up the holes, bog it up and re-spray the boot.

I took the spoiler of Hoony's car. You have 2 bolts and a plastic clip on each leg. The bolts are easy, but the clips were a bitch. Search the cosmetics forum, and you'll find the post we made asking how to do it. In the end wegot a drill and drilled them out. Being gentle with a hammer drill isnt easy...

Fill the holes with plugs first, because it will cost around $500 to get them filled. And if you decide you dont like the look, it'll be easy to put it back on.

Good luck mate!

Julz... i still have my panel beaters number...

should cost less than will cost around $200 for welding and a few more hundred for painted your boot again...

i will get you a better price if you get serious, i wouldn't bother having the ugly plugs in the boot, makes the car look cheap i reckon...

get it welded, looks classy...

you know what i mean :bunny:

oh yeah, and after Rhys took off my plug things, not long after the boot started to rust, even with tape!!! so be careful if you choose to DIY

good luck dude

Andrew :)

      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.
