Guys,

I've had my line for a few months now, loving every minute of it.

But something has been baffling me since word go.

on the back shelf there is a small (maybe the size of a 1ltr ice cream tub but flatter

) box with a few leds and whirring fans, when i asked the previous owner what this was (just after i had bought it) he shugged and said "a dehumidifier" i quizzed further and i was told that it came stock with his import.

No problems there, but the thing that is baffling me is none of my mates lines have one, or didnt when they bought them. Have i ended up with the ultimate rice accessorie option (pointless and electronic) or would some one have fitted it after purchase?

My Series II has one also and is constantly on - can't seem to find an on/off switch. My Mazda 626 Coupe import had one also (way back in 1990) that some kids stole out of it thinking it was a sub or something.

They were called air purifiers from what I remember - was your car a smokers' car in Japan as they seem popular with smokers cars.

Don't seem to do much though apart from use up power and take up space.

Cheers, Al

PVA,

Pretty sure yeah, it sits well clear of the rear window on the back parcel shelf. not rigged into anything mechanical in the space next to the battery, just power.

Sounds to me like it is a dehumidifier/air filter of some type, heh now the curiosity is why i have one but most dont. Makes me feel all special.

    • 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.
