Have full exhaust and FMIC!

The FMIC is the one that goes up over the radiator and NOT return flow. The exhaust is a large 3" into 3.5" cannon. Sounds tuff as! I also have a dump pipe to suit too, the cat converter isn't much of a cat i don't think, i think it is a bit hollow.

Hi Jason,

The FMIC will need body modification as the return pipe will have to go through a hole in the side that you need to cut. You MAY need to trim the front bar. I had it installed by Natrad, so not sure of all the details that were involved in getting it to fit completely.

The exhaust will fit the stock turbo, yes. You will need an exhaust bung though as I had my wideband tapped into the dump as well as the stock o2 sensor (easily picked up from an exhaust shop). As said before though, the cat converter is an unknown quantity at this stage, it may be intact, it may be hollowed out thanks to a Bee-R Rev Limiter :(

After $450 for the lot (pretty much a free FMIC since the exhaust is $900+ new)

As for being home tomorrow, it will be the rarest time I'm actually not! PM us your mobile and i'll message you with details etc if you are interested still.

Cheers

Sam

      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

      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.
