we fixed the fitment difficulties. I reckon the fit is now 95% OEM. slight uneven panel gap near quarter panels, very acceptable

The front reinforcement bar needs to be cut to size at the ends to fit the bumper

intercooler shroud sits well around the intercooler, it would require trimming to fit your individual intercooler.

brake duct guides look to be very usable as I have mentioned previously. just need a solution at the rotor! we will be addressing this next.

The oil and tranny coolers need some tweaking of their brackets so that the coolers sit flush with the cutouts on either side, the effect when positioned right is excellent.

Overall I am very happy with the end product. If you are a track junkie then I reckon this bumper will be for you, I will however partially reserve judgement until I can investigate the brake ducting solution and its function out on the track. Also, if you are considering this bumper though you will need to budget for quite a lengthy install and some fabrication of the cooler brackets

this is a photo from the guys at the workshop. I will get some more detail shots soon.

a few pics, car filthy but being in and out of the shop for ongoing mods means no time for cleaning! (reminds me of dirty dee of pootie tang fame!) will give it a wash before next track day

    • 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.
