Hey Riff Raff ( good ACDC song) I'm in mandurah and have a V8 210 Coupe. If the trim your talking about is the same for both sedan and coupe I should be able to help as a friend down here has a sedan parts car. Nice to know of another classic skyline in town. Also would like to see pics. Ricky

How'd you go about engine mounts, x-member, gbox, tailshaft ect for the rb conversion?

conversion was already done when i brought the car from what i know it uses standard rb30engine mounts, c210 xmember and box mounts has a shortened tailshaft and has the independant rear suspension out of a 280z

The plastic piece you seek for your coupe is different to that of the 4 door, four door is approx 50mm longer. My friend is willing to part it and maybe you could modify to suit. Let me know if your interested.The only other option is yahoo japan but I don't recall seeing any on there for sale either. Ricky

I have been looking at C210 on Yahoo Japan myself, for the C211 I was looking at and the bits I needed were not there and haven't been anywhere else. I have 5 importers on the lookout for bits as well without success, so I went with the KHR30 in Ballina, as I have bits for them laid on & they are easier to find.

Goal for Wednesday:

Get the engine to start.

to realise this goal, the following need to be done:

Install starter motor

Install extractors/exhaust manifold

Install distributor

Connect all engine looms plugs to appropriate places.

Install Timing belt.

Install fan/aux belts

Install radiator

I hope it all goes to plan!

      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.

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
