I have 1 length of Titeflex Insulation Wrap. It's about 3600mm long relaxed. This is the stuff used on aircraft tubes for insulation and the quality is second none !

It has 2 stepped graduations so you can vary the thickness when applied. I've wrapped it around the tube of silastic to give you an idea of how it fits.

Condition: New & Unused

length?

how does it stay in place?? does it need to be wire locked?

It's about 3600mm long relaxed.
Sould cover a fair bit of stuff depending on how you use it ( single or double overlay ).

Best way to hold it in place is with those stainless steel straps that hold exhaust wrap on

but you can also use ~41 thou lockwire or cable ties.

:P I can't believe this is still for sale !

This is top shelf stuff and can only be purchased through GE Aircaft Engines in the USA ( AFAIK ) and you don't wanna know what it costs to buy a minimum amount + shipping !! :P

Since I got a couple of confused ( ? ) PM's I'll try to take some more pics to show how this suff can be used.

Yeah, just insulates what ever you wrap to keep heat in or out. It's just that you can vary the thickness of insulation depending on how you wrap it.

At the end of the day, it's no miracle product but it's very handy for certain jobs and very hard to come by.

Single wrap for medium insulation and tighter areas.

and Double wrap for heavy insulation and more open areas.

You would of course secure one end and pull the wrap tighter as you go along so it's ot as lose as in these pics.

Also, I would not recommend using it on an exhaust or anything that gets that hot.

    • 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.
