Just bought 4 :D

Can you go on any day (knowing that a week day will be less congested)? By booking I presume? Is there a Seniors' Day? Will people stay away from my car if I drive like I'm drunk? :happy:

Thanks too for the info. :P

Wakefield have a calendar online that shows upcoming Speed off the Streets days, I imagine that these will be available to be redeemed at any Speed off the Streets day. Speed off the Streets do not require any booking, just that you front up with a car, a helmet, appropriate clothes and some cash :(http://wakefieldpark.com.au/index.php?opti...s&Itemid=44

As for people staying away from your car... that all depends on what kind of people you get on the track with you, but generally waving faster cars past is a good way to make sure that they don't stay too close for any long periods of time :D

Does the car need to be rego'd for speed of the streets?? I thinki remember reading that ??

NVM it says street legal car. :rofl2:

That's a bit misleading... people take unregistered cars down on trailers all the time.

I remember calling Wakefield to double check at some point and they said something along the lines "it needs to be roadworthy, ie doesn't drop fluids, tyres in reasonable condition, wipers work (in case of rain), brake lights, ect ect"

To be honest I'm yet to go to a Speed off the Street day where they even looked at my car :)

      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.
