Hey Dominic,

Great idea, have you entered one of these before?

Provided my car is together I'll be entering this next year.

When I was at Eastern Creek this morning, the East Coast classic rally was on, they are now allowing modern cars to enter as well. Looked tops, they ran the figure 8 skidpan and EC track this morning, then were driving up to Bathurst to do a couple of laps there - it would be a top few days out!

Guys Im always looking for a navigator as my wife can only make a few rallies a year.

I was entered in the East coast classic but the RTA (bastards) didnt approve my GTiR race car on time.

Hey Dominic-Ben Gibson here. You just pop up everywhere don't you?

I take it you're pretty happy with your new GT-R.

Just a word to the wise-steer clear of that Fatz guy-he's a bloody menace.

Watch out for Duncan too-i think he likes little boys.

So you'll be giving the GTR a shakedown at EC skidpan on the 21st? I'll see you there.

Thats the way the Dutton works. Driver and co-driver. The same course is undertaken with each person driving by themselves and at the end of the comp. prize for best driver, prize for best co-driver and prize for for best combined. Its a lot of fun for a small amount of money about $1k each.

That includes food but not accomodation or beer (add another $1k for beer)

I have competed a few years in the GP rally with my STi (www.grandprix.com.au) which used to be called the Dutton Rally.

Hi ben yes I have the GTiR, GTR, VB commodore, Nissan Stanza so I belong to groups with each. Not booked into 21 EC skid pan.

Hi Duncan.. Navigators-co-drivers are extremely hard to find as most people say yeah Id love it.. then when they hear License required, need to take a few days off work, you pay half entry, accomodation and beer. I pay all car costs (Except you smash it you own it or fix it) then they start to think twice.

don't worry, cancel that, checked the sup regs, requires L2 or L2s which is just a sprint license. You may have a pair in a skyline to keep you honest......

and CAMS license thread is here:

      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.
