its there to either

1. Waste your time

2. Take more cash

3. Waste your time and take more cash,

its actually there because people found a way around the other rules so they put a new one in place. that said if you are looking for a car why would you not want a stock one to start from. at least you would not end up with a hand grenade like some kids did with the 15 yr R32 GTR..

so instead of popping off , think about it laterally for a sec. if you want something different then you pay a price to have it. fairly simple concept.

The no modifications rule is just a simple blanket ban, not taking into account that cars that age generally will have modifications done to them.

And a blanket ban just goes to show how lazy the people making up these rules are.

It is nothing like a blanket ban, it isnt targeting JDM cars they are dragged into it, so the "blanket ban" comment is it a personal thought or something you have been officially informed about.

World coming to the end and unvalidated comments mean nothing till it is proven.

Isnt that what a blanket ban is? Everything older than 1989, no modifications after 1989, and you have to prove the date of those modifications.

It doesn't even elaborate on what "no modifications" mean, since that could mean anything, like someone has mentioned before, wheels. So its a whole undefined area that just makes it harder for people to get in cars they want.

lol I think you'll find he did already :P

The point is that currently, the changes are not targeting us, but the wording is ambiguous enough that, if you strike the wrong DoTaRS member on the wrong day, anything non-standard could be enough to get it knocked back.

well i hate to be the bearer of bad news guys but bitching about it in a sub section of a net forum isn't going to give us our answers...

perhaps it's time we started lobbying our government for change?

seems to work in thailand...

...too soon?

      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!

      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
