Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

No you just tried to give him a run. Stop telling us how you are driving like a dickhead.

Leech, appreciate the effort you went to in reply to my response. Now allow me to retort...

1. 45km/h on the main drag in Kingston during lunch peakhour is still stupid, considering the pedestrian and car traffic at that time, also you accelerated between the bank, and the pedestrian crossing. Lucky no one was contemplating crossing the street at the time, they would have shit themselves... The only time you could safely do ur quoted legal speed limit of 60km/h would be in the wee hours of the morning.

2. It wasnt just my observation, more so the observation of myself and my 3 counterparts.

3. We will get our eyes and ears checked ASAP. It seems we may have been hearing and seeing things.

4. Claiming you had to accelerate due to the fact that a car was coming up behind you only suggests that you pulled out when you shouldnt have. Nothing wrong with that i spose....

5. I know what a BOV is, i once had turbo. I also know that under load the BOV will omit quite a flutter, whereas accelerating 'normally', that being minimal throttle will emit a slight flutter.

Next time i do something stupid, ill give myself a pat on the back for my evasive actions.

Wow,Steve;you've opened up a whole new world of thinking when it comes to turbo's,BOV etc. Mr.'s Donnon & Ellis aren't anywhere near the mark if what you said is correct! You must write to HKS,Garrett,Croydens...in fact,everyone that's not you,and let them know how a turbo and it's ancillaries REALLY work. To think,we've been wrong for so long...

I feel so safe,knowing that such an authoritive figure is patrolling the streets,ever vigilant to look out for rogue SAU'ers like Leech(clearly a loose cannon,driving the way you've described). We'll look past the fact that we've enjoyed Leech's long and trouble-free time here on SAU for your 17 day entry fee. We'll ignore that Leech is one of the quiet achievers here,and that you can't tell an atmo' to a plumb back.

Borrom line is that Leigh is a mate to most of us here(and more,once they know him and his 33),and you point fingers,you leave yourself wide open to public comment. Have you ticked me off? A little,but that really doesn't matter. Just ease up on the heavy stuuf,and we'll all enjoy our respective Nissans a bit more...

LTSJayCe, If i write a letter to the names mentioned above in regards to how BOV's work etc, could you proof read it for me before i send it off? Cheers, would really appreciate it.

P.S. wish i had more online friends..

You don't need me to proof read it;you've already got it sussed out! Feel free to keep all of us up to speed on your groundbreaking findings. Besides,the wonderful online community that is SAU will be more than happy to analize and evaluate your work.

I wish you had more online friends,too. Me? I've got a few,but more real-world friends are a priceless commodity that I'll never forego.

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      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!

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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
