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.....

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
