If worse comes to worse man you can get one sent up from Nisswreck in Melbourne. That was the path I ended up having to take after checking out a few local ones but they were seized. Problem is I think it cost me around $200 in total for the compressor and postage.

yeh id like to avoid getting a 2nd hand one posted up to me if i can.

Id like to actually go and have alook at what ever im going to buy to make sure it seems alright 1st cause half the 1s i have seen so far dont look 2 good.

PS: if your selling one or take a compressor out of your car make sure you cover the holes to it with tape ect to stop air and crap getting in to it :P

Wish I had a spare R32 one sitting around but only have a R33 one that a wrecker gave to me to see if it would work but the inlets/outlets are a few mm to big. It's a pain finding a non seized R32 compressor which is why I took the Nisswreck path, They are rather good from my dealings with them and the compressor works well and all inlets/outlets were covered and the compressor was wrapped in bubble wrap. Sadly I still dont have my AC up and running just need to fix my PBR error and all will be good.

Actually I did just remember something, Try a few workshops like Powerplay Imports (not recommanding them just first shop to pop in my head), Most people get the AC removed when building a car for drift/track work.

    • 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.
