If he's in that much of a rush I wouldn't like to see him importing one.

Sure you can get a late model (spec2 1998) for not much over $20K, but it is hard going through the 2 1/2 months of owning the car before you get to even see it in the metal and the over three months from buying until you get to park your ass behind the wheel. :D

Teaches you a lot about patience but...:uh-huh:

shit yeah the wait is long.

but with patience when looking, and patience when bidding, and patience (and a little agro) when waiting for it to arrive in Oz, and patience for it to be complied and patience for it to be transported to Melb, man is my S2 WORTH THE WAIT.

good luck by the way :D

I didn't want one with a sunroof, but ended up with one! My head touches the roof and i cant drive it with the lining closed, but at the end of the day it's a skyline :P I'm still in love :whackit:

      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.
