Was not a good sight to see your car modified by the armco rail but at least you and your brother are o.k.Thought you might have kept the car and transplanted the good bits into something else hope to see you at another SAU event in something else as long as its a nissan ...

Mick,

Thanks and thought about transfering bits from the GTR into 32 sedan I've got sitting outside but decided to sell it.

At the moment, looking to obtain 33 GTST for second time (had one before the GTR).

Cheers

Grant

Best of luck for a speedy recovery Grant; it's never a good thing to have a car accident but gladly it happened in a controlled environment with help at arm's reach.

Thanks Jim.

Sorry to hear the news mate :)

Went through something similar myself at Phillip Island a couple of years back, and really good to hear that both of you got out of the car relatively unscathed. Sounds like everyone there did a stellar and professional job to look after yourself and your passenger.

At least you and your brother are ok Grant, thats the main thing.

Its always sad to see a GTR as nice as yours get banged up.

The good thing is is that theres always something bigger and better to look forward to in the future.

Hope to see you again at Decas with whatever it is that you decide to buy! Although I was thinking 26 into 4 door....would be fun!

Thanks, yes I'm gutted about the R considering I've wasted so much money and have some parts to go into it, will have to sell them...

Yes the organiser did a stellar job in looking after me and my brother.

Thanks, yep it does seem like I'm not aloud to own a GTR... I know what you're on about with looking for the replacment (love it too but lately, carsales haven't co-operated with me).

Shit so sorry to hear this... I remember just meeting you last deca and was admiring ur car... U even took my friend for a ride.... Well glad you and your brother are fine... Get Well Soon!! :D

Yes I remember you and your friend were admiring it and I took your friend for a ride last DECA.

Mat, thanks for the kind words, won't be doing 26 in 32 sedan cos I've already sold the wreck this morning and is trying to get a friend to buy the sedan.

And I'm kinda 'banned' from DECA by my parents... And is talking to them now.

Hamish, I'm unsure about these pics being posted on this thread but won't ask you to remove it.

Niroj, yes that's decent stack.

Glad to hear your okay, and sorry to hear about the GTR. In the end though a car is replaceable, life and quality of life isn't; however I'm sure that doesn't make you feel any better.

Hope things pick up soon.

Chantalle,

Thanks and I'm feeling lot better since I've sold the wreck and it's somewhere out of my sight. So I don't have to walk past it everyday.

And am sourcing a replacment but won't rush into it now, got other things to worry about.

Cheers

Grant

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      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!

      By Gantai · Posted

      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
