My shipping back would be by USPS Global Priority which would have tracking, but the cost of it would be added in the price of the repair. For the clock it would be around $25 vs the normal US price of $5. I've shipped many things back and forth all over the world. I was big into Tamiya RC cars for a long time and got great deals into and out of Japan and Australia. Very familiar with worldwide shipping none the less. I'm moving from New Mexico to Oregon on June 1st for work so I've suspended all repairs and incoming shipping until after I'm settled in up there, but I can easily take care of it once I'm all set up again. Repairs take me about 6 hours total including testing, but I can only do them on my days off. Turn around has still been fairly quick. Usually inside of a week. If you can't find a local service keep me in mind.

Yes, it was the resistors under the VFD. I now have a rework station and I'm happy if people want to post them to me and I'll post them back. I live in SA. Just text or call

Hey mate u still doin this or??

Sorry, I know this is an old one but just trying to get mine going and preserve all the items the car has from the factory.

It was completely dead. Have removed the display and reflowed and tested the resistors under there and that got it to power on but the buttons don't work.  So I replaced the buttons and reflowed every component on it but still no joy.

I guess the OKI chip is fried but just in case anyone came across something similar and fixed it, please let me know 👍

    • 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.
