I'm looking at starting the lake jumping/silly season early this year. my next free weekend is the 14th and 15th of november. most likely on the sunday.

I'm planning on draging the ramp out of my yard to the rowing docks, taping a few bottles to my BMX bike, getting some beer, maybe cook up a bbq, and have an awesome day down on the shores of lake burley griffin.

So who would be interested in coming down and having a crack at it?

honestly its only water, it cant hurt ya, bahaha.

Heres some pics from last season

also theres some vids from last season too on my facebook page, worth checking out...

3/4 backflips really do hurt :(

I a more than keen to do this. Like excessively keen. I've got an old BMX we might be able to use as well, I'll take the brakes off it and it will be sweet!

But yeah I don't quite trust that lake....oh well I don't care, if's it's open then whatever, just don't inhale it rofl. Would prefer another location tho.

Oh also, My mate has a ramp very similar to the on you use, that he built ages ago but doesn't use. We could use both? rofl

It's back on! sunday the 13th dec, same place at 1:30 pm

i organised it then remembered about that possible chrissy cruise, if that happens on the 13th it'll be a good place to stop and check out the lake.

Standing around looking at cars being pampered that are designed for flogging and should be on the track, I think the track still wins :)

Me and Zane celebrated the r32's birthday in true nissan style taking 1 and 2 in class at Oran Park. Thats what the 32 is all about

      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.
