Let me start by saying, I hate you because I want your wheels!!!

I would recommend Primal Garage, they're in the Westside... take your car and your wheels and they will do the rest.. Speak to Neil 0419 156 142

Your guards appear to be rolled already?

You might need a little lip/flare, not a lot though

ohh ok mad mad thanks guys i'l give that shop a calL! cheers!, hey i think i've seen you guys at westmeet? lol ? i saw your 33 at macas looks micky! i want your roof spoiler!!! if you seen mine sliding last week? lol

Yer I was there with alr33x for a look, i'll swap my roof spoiler for your wheels? lol

You will need adjustable camber arms which Primal can look after you for aswell, they are dirt cheap, something like $200...

you need to go smaller tyres to 50 is high profile.. but just give it a roll and some camber be sweet as, its an easy job your wheels stick out 9mm more then mine which are 18x10 +20 with a 265 im not rubbing except extreme bumps + high speed, if ur west yer go primal garage..

you popping by this week billy/geraus?

PM me regarding Primal Garage...

Id love to know what your problem is with our guard rolling.....:D

Athid lives in East Bentleigh so south eastern suburbs

We charge for guard rollings $60 a corner just for future reference..

    • 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.
