righto off to do battle again today!

Got a new Z06, GT2, GT3RS and a bloody great viper to deal with, ohh and nearly forgot those 2 insanely fast EVO's with the 2.4 litre engines (4g64 block) running GT38 turbos.

Also seems we have been discovered by the europian racing series as we now have guests teams showing up to race here for testing before their seasons start in march. All thanks to Sky sport broadcasting our race series in the UK. What the bet we will have BTCC cars here in the near future. Gotta feel sorry for my battered old warhorse, but skylines rule !

lol you have to pick the target. I remember when racing in the might 'woos there were 2 guys that you had to turn into before they turned into you...otherwise you would loose the momentum not them. made for some big bills really.

good luck chris.

done and dusted!

popped a coolers hose in race one after a poor quaily so started 9 out of 28for race one, seems some one forgot to inform me that they conbined the free practice and quailifying into the same session. So here i am bedding a set of front brakes in, grrrrr although did get to 5th before popped said bastard hose.

Race 2 start 28 and finished 4th cant tell you what a difference mountain runners 4wd controller made! the old warhorse flew the flag in the last race but a dose of very pi@#ed off driver does help every now and again.

But man that 8.4 litre viper is just brutal and with 345 rear slicks it just hauls butt

      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.
