As per the title. The Rear steering rack in my Autech 260RS needs replacing.

Does anyone know where I can buy a reconditioned one or even a brand new one? Would also love a part number :ermm: .

remove it and replace with a Hicas lock bar. much easier option.

+1 for Lock Bar.

If it was working keep it, but save your money and bone it now, unless you can find a good second hand one.

+1 hicas lock-bar

Unless it's working mint it will so minimal but work against you and make the car handle like a bucket

The lock bar will also give you miles of toe adjustment so then all you need is rear camber arms and drop it and you can correct the toe and camber to remove the scrubbing out of the inside edges of the rears ;-)

or you could just chuck sum shims in there, I got a second motor and guttered it put the shims in and took out the hicas light in the dash.

everything looks standard and as it should be, if i ever want the hicas back i just refit the motor and remove shims, 5 min job

thats another option, not say its a better option but it works for me

+1 for lock bar, but if you must have it I have a rack here I removed ages ago it's yours for beer money.

Becareful buying hicas lock bars and replacement hicas racks

I found the stagea hicas rack I had from a RS4 S was longer than a R33/R34 one

Have a search, there is a thread in here somewhere with measurements and details etc I found.

Yeah if you have an RS4 S rear in your 260RS it won't fit. :blink:

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
