let them each turn a lap in it. the bloke with the most spectacular time/lap/slide/roll/crash/scar/head injury wins. the loser buys the pints.

Meh, i have 35k burning a hole in my pocket. To buy a daily driver and go silly with my cheap club GTSt or keep my GTSt as it is as a fun daily and buy a serious track car that will keep me truly broke all my life. For the R33 i would probably dig into the sensible savings fund for some more dosh, but will most likely still be short of any asking price. :)

Especally since they have started development on it , so looks like Irish would win the tussle. But i like the idea of a match off...i can be pretty special when i disconnect my brain :)

lol.... Hey, if thats the judging, 'ole Fanta pants is a sure fire winner. Irish has spent the summer lapping the 'Ring in his modded 33GTR without touching a wall, so evidently, he's a panzy.

Irish is back in Feb, so if Team Bigtime can have it sorted by then he's a starter :)

Roy, I've seen the light, and I reckon you'd love it :D

Next year I'm teaming up with a mate to do the Kart Enduro Championship for fat farkers over 85kg. :) Twin engined 4-stroke Karts, totalling around 13hp. Nine rounds, races between two and 24hrs duration, longer races requiring ring-in drivers to get the team to three or four strong. There's a Lake Macquarie round, I reckon you'd be keen for a skid.

Are you sure that particular vid was with the car in rwd? It looks pretty stable for the grunt it would have running the TO4Z? If it is rwd then the lap time looks a lot better then the time you did to win the event and you should really start setting up rwd cars as it looks epic on the power down in 2nd gear and 3rd gear quick stuff

Roy definately in two wheel drive mate, the slicks were helping gear the power down heaps , michelin slicks they are bloody soft too.

      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.
