i'll find a black pair and chop them on and repost

was thinking black but that thread with the jap stageas at the track had a yellow s2 with white wheels and it looked good

Just painted my front headlights!

Chris.

Very nice indeed :3some:

I know a couple of people who want to do that pretty badly :)

Replaced the power steering fluid with Nulon 100% Synthetic ATF, replaced the lower weather shields on the front doors (finally!), gave it a clean yesterday.

Chris.

love it they look fkn great!

Just brought mine back from the car wash...

Oh, and I changed one of the map lights - both were still working, but one was really dim.

Nick stop going all out with ur car dude, or soon ull have to enter autosalon....

i,ve not long had mine, figure i'll wait for things like the turbo to go before spending up on them but it came with r33 four pots on the front, i tinted the taillights and removed the nissan and stagea badges off the rear, got a gps traker alarm with remote shutoff and a blitz cat back exhaust and high flow cat which aren't installed due to the lack of a dump pipe but i's coming lol :)

Yesterday I cleaned the engine bay and gave it a good wash. Today I'm gonna hit it with Mothers Clay Bar and then Meguirs Gold Class Wax. Should look awesome :(

Also, just bought an Innovate wideband O2 sensor that should arrive tomorrow. I'm gonna wire it in to my Vipec ECU and leave it in the car pernamently. Can't wait to play the tune :( Just gonna try and lean out the low-load everyday driving parts in the search of better economy.

just went under mine on the hoist with a torch and a bore scope, and found a few loose fittings, a stuffed tranfer case seal, a loose tailshaft, a leaking coolant seal on the front turbo and a loose front cradle.

Hopefully this afternoon I'll be saying I picked it up with all issues sorted! :(

i finally made a heat shield for my pod

went to foamland (dodgey tassie version of clark rubber)

bought 0.5mx~1.0m of foam with a foil backing for $13.75

got the stanley knife out and started hacking away

ended up with about a .4x.5 m piece left

doesn't look pretty but seals around all the pipes and things well and looks like this:

    • 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.
