hey all... finaly got off my ass and did somthing bout my custom turbo that vents to atmosphere! lol... the gaskets were shagged and sounded like a tractor! many will agree!

today we got all the cooler, intake and other pipes out the way. took out the 1st turbos manifold bolts, and some of the 2nd, the front pipe, and unbolted the turbo to manifold bolts... the coolant and oil lines (2 of each..)of the 1st turbo... how ever the turbo still wouldnt come off the manifold... there was sum heat sheild underneath the turbo that gave us a little bit more movement but not all thats left in the way is the o2 sensor.

it ended up being a missing bolt on the front dump, loose rear dump bolts, and a few other loose ones aswell! is there any other hints any wants to share :) its actualy not that hard once you start going tho i spose!

thanx guys!

It sounds like they've been removed before. Although the factory bolts aren't usually super tight after 10+ years, they don't have a habit of falling out...

Glad you found the issue - you'll be amazed how quiet the engine will be once you've fixed it!

      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.
