Yeah the transaxle is by Albins Off Road.

I know of a certain Aussie Superlap/time attack car eagerly awaiting the chance to swap the current Hollinger S6 for a new Albins Transaxle. ;)

There'll be a plethora of Hollingers available once to COTF launches..... one would assume. Shame the V8SC version isn't really suitable for most of us.

Does this car happen to be black?

Everyone I know who has actually driven the circuit says it's the most exciting street circuit to drive. It rewards the brave, and punishes the impatient, everything you want from

Besides the fact it takes away from all the other nsw

venues the circuit deserves a place in the championship.

It was entertaining racing despite the high repair bills many teams now face.

Don't totally agree with rewarding the patient as it seems the impatient get the rewards

Personally it would make a better time attack track than a race track

I thought our governments plan was to get speed off the streets, so I spose this means cutting EC in half , so you get half the value for the money - really don't see this as an inticer.

Wouldn't our taxpayers money be better off supporting Bathurst Extension (not only cause I am close), assistance to Wakefield Park or other venues sought as a permanant structure.

Govt. doesn't actually care about speed off the street Stu.. only votes.

Unfortuately motorsport (whilst a huge sport across the community wide, as a spectator sport) doesn't suck in massive political advantage.

I only wish we could get the amount of land that GOLF courses have.

Think about the average 50yr old impotent kock running about on sunday morning, smacking a rubber golf ball... vs 180km/hr at T1 at EC.

Sad, really.

I have SIX major suburb-sized golf courses within five minutes ftive of my place. Give me the shits.

Time to buy a set of clubs, and a buggie and turn the courses into your own track...

Golf courses dont make any noise, are popular with the retired and increase land value.

Most race tracks can be heard from 5km away which affect a few thousand people.

not to mention polution, etc.

and yeah the noise is a big thing. on a quiet night, with the wind blowing in the right direction, when i lived out of town i could hear the speedway, and it was on the opposite side of town, about 15kms away as the crow flies.

      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.
