Interesting deposits Dave...did you drain the fuel rail and injectors before you cling wrapped them?

Probably is sugar...

well obviously not :P 4 months it took to get like that...maybe condensation was building up inside cling wrap...not sure... need to do some testing...I have 10lt od e85 here maybe i should put it in random things and let it sit....see what corrodes ;)

Ah well of course it's gonna leave some shit in there then...would dissolve the moment you run more ethanol through it. Though on first start it may make the ethanol a bit crap. That is one reason we say to leave petrol in there to "pickle" the system if you're leaving your car dormant for extended periods of time. But I don't imagine that sugar shit causing any harm anyway.

Quick recommendation on new headlight globes since mine blew last night.

Thinking either OSRAM or Philips Xtreme-vision, but open to suggestions...

I've used Philips and Narva?, much of a muchness i think

Im not too shabby a solderer but circuit boards are so much easier than free hand. Struggletown even doing RS232 with jaycar kits. Smell of cooking skin is stronger than solder

Come solder my lights

I put the xtreme vision in the missus Mazda3.

tested it with a lux meter I downloaded on the phone and saw about a 40% higher lux reading in the same exnvironment.

very noticeable difference when driving in the country as well.

BUT I've run the same in the ute and they do blow more often,

as the saying goes, those the burn twice as bright burn half as long.

Narva plus 120 or Intense if you like white/blue light

But I'm not biased or anything...

Can supply soldering iron and lead-free solder.

cant say id do a very clean/tidy/good job, but will work.

If your bored on the weekend come around!

Otherwise was going to buy a solder on the weekend and fix my front indicator light, as the wiring as torn off

    • 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.
