Sooo... I didn't attend the dinner... And have had a pretty bad week. I've owned my R33 for a week. As some of you already know... I let my friend drive my car earlier this week...

Just thought I would post a picture of why this can be considered a bad idea...

Lesson learnt.

He was being a doushe... His idea of "drifting"... FML. Straight into a barrier. The kid owns a front wheel drive! He over corrected (as you do when you drive a front wheel) ...

nasty, dont let ur mates drive. i dont even let my parents drive mine.

imho this doesnt need a thread of its own- wasteland is for posts like this

mods tend to frown upon multiple topics getting raised

I dont even think my dad knows how or even what a drift is :) He considers his 1990 stock Celica to be a super fast sports car... I guess my father just fails at the midlife crisis game. Mind you he was a alfa enthusiast back in the day :) Alot of cool cars.

He is funding the crash yes. Kind of feel sorry for the bloke... I mean he is doing the right thing, and surely I've lost out by having the damage... But he is going to be a bit out of wallet on this one

thats pretty much what i dread

he has one of those wankers 4wds... a certified burnside bus (mercedes ML320 suv) which hasnt got the tyres or lift to go off road but has a 'low gear' setting incase your mansion is on an incline... hes a bad driver too...has a habit of not checking his blind spot

let my dad drive my previous rexy and gsr cordia once each respectively.

the gsr got reversed into a no standing pole in the first 5 minutes and didnt even leave the front lawn.

The rexy required a new clutch after he chewed it out and the gearbox linkages felt weird with one 45 minute drive.

(mustve ground gears every change) -- too scary to think about !

all family members since banned from driving any of my rides unless its an emergency!

      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.
