+1 to this, takeaway would be comming form all diffrent directions

Don't we feel the least sorry for Eagle Boys/Domino/Crust for making 1000s of pizzas each night for people who'll never pay? And what about the "GTFO"s that the delivery boys cop + the fuel they use up?

At least pay me decent money to take my 'good book' to read to her! And after I smash her in the face with it you'll all identify her with the embossed title on her forehead that reads,...

"ELBIB YLOH EHT"

Very bad luck, Geoff. And kudos to you for maintaining a level head. If it was me, I wouldn't be so 'kind'.

I have a next door neightbour who is sounds exactly like the woman who vandalised your car. She thinks it is her "right" to have the two spots outside her house as hers, although she never parks outside. We have had incedents of vandalism for years - from raw fish inside cars to broken mirrors, antennas, glass, and scratches/keying.Oh, and one incident of acid sprayed over the fence onto a new 4WD.

Funny thing is these incidents only happen when cars are parked outside her place, not mine, and only to our cars.

Some serious security cameras and a a few words to the streets gossiper and surprisingly the incidents stopped immediately. :D

Charlie thanks for the offer mate, unfortunately.. I'm sure it would get vandalised too. As a boatie myself (was actually fishing in Pittwater at the time) it would hurt to see that happen :)

The people we know in the street have already been told what happened, one of them is the neighbourhood gossip so word WILL spread. I can only hope she got a bit of a surprise when the police turned up to question her, might make her think twice next time.

Dave there are plenty of things I'd love to do.. this cow is exceptionally lucky I have the level of restraint that I do.

Sorry to hear Geoff....how are you going gettting it fixed.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but unless the cops can nail it too her your shit out of luck on this one :(

spot on. the same company made us pay an excess after a taxi hit the z while parked, even though we gave them and the police the number plate of the cab that did it.

fixed everything besides the AM/FM antenna but I've got one waiting to go on, just ran out of time. By luck I found a silver pair of mirrors right away, they needed some minor repair work to get the folding action going again but all sorted now.

the doors also need a polish, there are some scuff marks from where the mirrors hit the paintwork. passenger side has a slight dent too but i'll live with it for now. basically all sorted :)

cheers dunc, sucks about the z. mongrels.

      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.
