Thanks, Snowman after I just spent time to do this one... ;)

The transparent one should look like this, only full screen for 1024...

Haha - less than 2 weeks. My 1st rally is on Jan 31st in Tassie. The car is being entered as a 2005 Nismo GT-R Z Tune (hence why I've done the kit).

Might be a stupid question, but can I ask why?

Good luck this weekend also.

Well actually the main reason was costs.

Under Tarmac Rally regs the cars have to run to factory specs with minimal modifications allowed under strict guidelines. And given my car has been a modified club track car for the last few years it was no longer anywhere near standard R34 GTR V Spec N1 regs and to bring the car back to those specs was going to cost a mint.

However the car was already very close to the Z Tune specs. So the $$$ outlay for me to enter the car as a Z Tune was much lower and meant I could actually afford to do it. The thing is until 2009 the Z Tune had been banned from being an eligable car for Tarmac Rallies (along with a bunch of other cars including the 400R for example - and still is banned for CAMS based rallies) so it has only become an option for me now.

Plus - it looks so cool! :(

Why is that? Unfair advantage?

    • 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.
