hey guys,

just wondering if anybody would be able to help me swap my R32 power steering rack for the S13 one i have. I wouldnt know where to start, it seems so complicating, and i wouldnt want to break anything.

I was told the S13 rack will give me more lock, also i went with the S13 resevior because the standard R32 one has the 4 lines, the extra 2 for the rear hicas... when the S13 one has just the two. I have the hicas lockbar in place.

cheers :D

you'd think it would be a direct swap, due to s13 and r32 having mostly the same sort of suspension set-up, hence being able to swap lots of parts. if you want more lock whats wrong with lock spacers? or if your up for it r33 - steering rack, lca and lock spacers :thumbsup:

From what I have been able to find an s13 rack bolts straight in but the hose fittings are different. Please elaborate on the 33 idea, haven't come across this?

The reason I ask is because my powersteering rack has sprung a leak out of one of the rack ends, so it's time for something new

im trying the 33 idea, but wont be done for a while, shall be interesting. As for the s13 rack, unfortunate the fittings are different. you could always get a steering rack re-build. source parts, and take rack to someone = cost less or rebuild yourself if you have the tools. Unless you tracked up to Brisbane where I have 2 32 racks spare.

hmmm think I might just go with rebuilding the rack, seems lie alot of messing around changing racks. Was talking to one of the guys at work today and he was saying his mate went down to a nissan dealer and they printed him off their exploded parts view of a couple of things he was rebuilding, makes life a bit easier considering there doesn't really seem to be english manuals around for any jap stuff.....

    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D  
    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok?
