Hi Terminal, haven't been on for awhile... the gtr's been off the road... had to get a few things fixed and I was driving a hire car for awhile, you don't know what your missing till you drive a complete s**tbox.. anyway glad to be in the gtr again, will try and make a friday soon

btw, did you get your 2nd dan?

Nah i have the grading in 3 weeks. i have a comp in 2 weeks in moss vale, hopefully i don't get too injured to grade. glad you've got your car back on the road. i know what i'm missing now driving my old skyline again after having the madwagon for a year, but the wagon still dominates in style.

kool 2nd dan, i take it thats taekwondo ranking? does that mean kyu and shihan is taekwondo too? or am i just talking tekken 5?

Dan is used in most martial arts, Kyu is japanese and is used for colour belt rank, taekwondo use the term Gup for colour belt ranks. Dan is used for black belt rank. i have no idea what shihan is from, probably means master or instructer in japanese

Haha damn you beat me to it, i was gonna post up that i saw you, i saw you from miles away and chased you down, thats why i made sure i caught up and gave a wave, i would have gone the same way home as you but needed petrol in Phillip, car is looking hot as always  :huh:

Heh.. yeah the Z doesn't exactly blend in to traffic, neither do 'lines for that matter :D

You scared the crap out of me going around that round-about in the inside lane, when I first saw you out of the corner of my eye. I am not used to other cars going through round-abouts anywhere near as fast as I usually do. If you were driving a comondore you would have flown off the road at that speed.

P.S are you guys still having regular get-togethers?

Heh I only was sure it was you a split second before you stuck your arm out the window, I couldn't remember how I could be sure it was you, then it hit me - R34 wheels :D

About an hour before I saw Leech I had an encounter with FoX on the Monaro highway

haha yeah i didn't think you had seen me sneak up on you so when we hit the round about i slammed it into 2nd and floored it to catch you lol.

It would have been good if we had kept going without the bloody traffic, oh yeah, i want your car :D

Also spotted me gassing it to catch up to Ewen's 33 last night on knoke av just b4 he turned up into his street, i caught you just as you turned at the last round about but i dont think you noticed me.

Also spotted a black 33 leaving the Lanyon shops this morning at 11.30, it also could have been Ewen but it may have been a bit early for you :)

Spotted a maroon R32 with red ACT plates in belco, drove past across benjamin way

I spotted this as well. Parked outside Autobarn in Belconnen, looked hot as. Same colour as mine, had tasteful 18's on it and more importantly was a GTR(unlike mine :D lol.). Took a few pics of it but didnt get time to tell him to join up here, hadn't seen it around Canberra before.

    • 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.
