Massive thanks to Hypergear to assisting me with my turbo issues and rebuilding my 35R to ATR43 specs. I cant wait to drive the car with this!

How did you go on the last car with the turbo being so close to the paint? Did it melt anything? I know you had the metal heat shield fitted but did you have any issues? Mine looks to be closer to the tower so i am a little concerned.... I got a blanket/beanie or whatever you call it but not sure how long it will last! :huh:

more pics.. manifold is done.. its a very high quality item from Garage 7. whole lot of trickery has gone into it and every runner is the exact same length. collector is laser cut and a few other little n eat things like the fact that i can install the whole thing using just one spanner. no custom cut down tools needed! excuse the finish... i painted it with VHT flame proof paint for now.. will get it ceramic coated soon. but after this up comign event next weekend

That is awesome. That right there is the difference between a $400 manifold and a top quality manifold.

Love this thread. Between your awesome wiring, those engine covers, that manifold, and all the other goodies, this is a great read.

its the same car man :P

yeah the manifold burnt the paint off the strut tower... i wrapped and ceramic coated the shit out of it all but still got hot with the hard time i gave it

Yeah minor lapse in brain function there :P i meant new build LOL

Its certainly looking the goods, cant wait to see how it performs... If its anything like your last setup it should be crazy :thumbsup: Its come a long way!!

another solid 7 hours spent on it... been crazy the amount of work that i have put into this along with Decs from Garage 7. got ready to get it all started and straight away as soon as i put oil in it noticed it was leaking like a mofo from the rear main seal... arrrrg thats so annoying! is a brand new seal too and i was carefull putting it on too. so f**k knows what the go there is.

anyway primed it up.. took 2 solid mins and 2 batteries of cranking with plugs out to get oil flowing thro everything and pressure to build, i was worried for a min there. Soon as pressure was up i plugged in the coilpacks and injectors and then went to start it and it fired up straight away! i was shocked haha. needed a tad more fuel to idle smooth and once that was done it starts and idles better then it ever has and its not even tuned! base map is pretty close i reckon haha. Sounds AMAZING!

well.. as it turns out the rear main may not be leaking after all but the rear of the head/cam cover, dripping down thro the bell housing.

another solid day/night of work... have spent pretty much 3pm til 10pm every night including whole days sat and sundays working on it... feeling rather drained and burnt out but its very close now... should be ready for tunes on thursday. So far its promising... sounds f**king unreal!!

      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.
