Today i found out that there is a silver vl turbo calais under cover cop car. It has an immaculate paint job, front mount intercooler, slightly lowered and has a NRNR (No r#$t no ride) sticker on the back windscreen. They get it out every weekend and theres normally 4 undercovers in the car. I'm going by what this person said as they leave the car where she works. There is also a VT V6 undercover car there.

If there anything like the undercover VX SS cars (there standard with the rear spoiler taken off so it doesn't cover the lights) they drive around all they do is drive round defecting any one. They talk to you in car parks and try and get you to talk about your car so they can defect it, they also try and get you into a drag by reving the car at the lights. There very f#*@ing cheeky and I know cos they pulled me over. :D

So people going cruising any time soon, take a good look at the car your dragging, cos it might be our best friends. :inlove:

Yeah, as a daily driver I'd have to clean it every day and I dont have the time.

are they "undercover" cops.... orare they just off duty cops

They are undercovers. Their job is to get cars like ours off the road.

i know of a few VY SS undercovers but i havent seen any VX's

They originally started with the VX's. Now they swapped them over for the newer model, but the way things are going it wouldn't surprise me if they still have the VX's on the street.

I didn't think they were allowed to rev the car to get you to drag... isn't that entrapment? If you take off like a maniac on your own accord that that'd be a different story.

Pisses me off that cops have nothing better to do than defect peoples pride and joy. Loads of money spent and probably some of the safest cars around.

And then they complain about staff shortages.

How about stopping these psycho's walking arould with blood filled syringes attacking people.... :D

great :)

no doubt that will change when they do rev someone up and someone dies in an accident.

That's pretty funny really (ok, I have a weird sense of humour) - I reckon I could convince just about anybody to do illegal things with enough money:p

If every one had my high standards though, loose change would probably be enough:D

      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.
