Dont park under trees.

Dont park on main roads.

Dont follow trucks, trailers, or anything with a mitsubishi badge.

Quick rinse off and chamois or just a static dusting every day makes it look perfect for the next day.

Car cover at night. Even in a garage.

Silicone spray is the best one for tyres. Forget the rest.

Clean wheels + glossy tyres + clean glass = the biggest difference, if youre too busy/slack to do the rest.

It all depends on how you want to be seen, really... and mine are always chauffeur-driven standard.

Amazing as it may seem, MR SHEEN does a cracking job of dash, tyres, plastic, leather and chrome. Used it on my last few cars with amazing results!!

And no im not talking about charlie. I dont want my car to end up looking like a cheap ho covered in crack... :nyaanyaa:

I prefer dark colour cars.. they're more rewarding to detail :) And guys like WaxIt or CarCareProducts will probably hate me, but you don't really need to be spending hundreds of dollars on Swissvax products to get a nice result, it's all in the prep-work and maintenance.

All I use is a hose, shammy and a little kiss on the bonnet and a nice stroke of the Varex exhaust. Nah I use what ever the detailer at work uses or what everyone else has on them at car shows (even though i've only been to one car show)

    • 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.
