Mention that it was totally stock as a rock when we bought it, since have added, cooling pro fmic, rims, pod filter, gauges and sound sys.

Next mods are exhaust, injectors, bigger turbo an tune bring on the power

Just using a Blitz pod filter, i have an engine bay photo around but not on my work computer

Cool, how much did that set you back?

I'm looking at buying a pod but are unsure which one I should get... I'm guessing they all do the same thing...

How much trouble was the cooling pro fmic to fit? Did it fit up to the stock SMIC pipes ok? Need to move horns/cut bumper etc?

Nice stag...Btw did you paint your grill black?looks cool ,I was thinking to do that...

The grill was black when i bought it and i dont think it was painted black either.

The FMIC was an absolute prick to install turned into a 2 night session, the pipes fit, but we had to make new brackets to mount the cooler on so it didnt sit at an angle, we got it so that we didnt have to end up cutting anything. we took off the air conditioning fan because the motor was too big and got in the way of the cooler and the horns were easily moved. Fits like a glove now but it was tedious to say the least.

ooh 'eck. not an easy fit to a series 2 then. think I might not go for the cooling pro fmic right away - i'd like to keep my a/c fan.

FMIC = good now i know how to put one on it, was a totally F***EN mission to begin so much for a easy session haha. but AC is working fine without the fan we will be putting on a thin davey craig or somthing soon when we get a chance for summer. I figure the the radiator one is drawing a fair bit through anyway

Cooler looks tops and is indeed very stealth even though it is polished silver.

Glad it turned out in the end. Matter of interest: have you got a series 2? and did you relocate your transmission cooler? if you didn't move your transmission cooler, do you think it would've made things easier if it had've been out of the way?

I can spot an S badge on rear, so no trans-cooler.

My R33 Greddy kit fitted fine, pipes perfect! horns relocated, reo skimmed, hole-sawed, heaps of room for A/c fan when i get one!

Love the grill!

      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.
