i bought an orbital buffer the other week and have been going a little crazy myself in the detailing department. just learning the in's and out's of polishing and buffing but im in good hands from a mate that knows it all :P

i'll be getting into the claybar, scratchX and gold class wax soon enough, im just doing the scratch & swirl remover treatment at the moment and its doing wonders.....and as for the orbital buffer ----> awesome

Yeah I went mega buffo on teh car. Came up pritty good I must say...

For those who are new to the club too, make sure you introduce your selves at the show and shine. I will be the guy who looks like he is about to pass out. I only got 4 hours sleep and then got out of bed early for bloody daylight savings!!!!

i'm sure everyone will have their digi there.

for something a bit different i'm going to take my film SLR and (if i can find it on a sunday morning) some nice slide film - and get it developed and scanned at a hideously overinflated price. kinda bored with my compact camera's inability to take photos as good as I'd like, and colours on slide film are sooo beautiful.

      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.
