Depends what you mean by "fit"...

To make it so that the wheel and tyres can completely disappear into the guard without touching, you will either need to do:

1. guard rolling AND lots of negative camber

2. a little bit of guard flaring

by fit i dont mean for it to get under the guards, it ok sticking out, but i dont want rubbing issues and it hitting guards and things like that.

im sure they will fit well and look very sexy, but is it going to run badly???

wil be nuts, and will fit fine, just dont go wild on the tyre width, thats where u have rubbing issues. if u are more interested in looks go with a 255/35 (if u can get it) or a 255/40. that will give u decent traction, look nuts, and wont have clearance issues.

if u wanna go as wide as possible my reccomendation would be to get ur hand on some 2nd hand 18'" tyres, even if they are worn out, something 255 or bigger, take out ur suspension, fit the wheels, then push the wheel up through its arc and see if it scrubs and how much clearance u have at the tightest point. this will tell u how wide u can go on ur car as every car is different.

    • 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.
