hi guys, i've been reading the stagea forums for a while after buying a silver m35 2 months ago, made the decision to buy it as the daily drive ever since i saw Craig's(jetwreck) black fat cow lol.

however, i have a supercharged 350z which (with big thanks) Craig and Alex installed for me, do you guys mind if i take her to the strip to see some numbers? hoping for somewhere in the 13s.

i can also ask to see if anyone from the Z club is interested too and make it a Stag v Z drag day haha. i think it will be a pretty even playing field and the FI nature of the Stags might even give you guys an upperhand in terms of modding for the drags.

black fat cow will be the car to beat i reckon

Nick imo your more than welcome!

We will have to line up the Nismo broad minded person's (350z and M35) and give em a go!.....might have to put the e-manage and injectors back in first! I think you'll be more than surprised....I recon you'll crack a 12 easy!........just watch your mirrors......like my wife says "your a slow starter but fast finisher Craigos!".....pfffft like she would remember!

P.S. Only guy I want to beat is Alex is his poofy Silver poverty pack! :P.....we will see how his car goes after this weekends install....turbo's going on his the glass bottom motor!

P.S.S. >>>>>>>goes out to garage to start the fat cows Jenny Craig weight loss program!ph34r.gif

Hey stop bagging out our VQ35DE...S and T! im sure there's motors with weaker bottom ends... the other guy with the supercharger Z got 13.5 at WSID, so thats what im aiming for i guess, hopefully autos are faster at the drags/minimizes driver errors.

so ur going all out to get into then 12s eh? maybe take out the spare tyre and boot linings etc to shed a few kilos in a week or money back from Jenny :blush: .

so far the nitto invos are great, not losing traction as much as before, and are soooooooo much quieter than the ku36s, I don't feel like im driving a friggin tank the whole time anymore :banana:

AND THE TREADS LOOK WICKED!

The way things are going, I'm not going to be going down the track - won't have a tune. But could wreck it for others by covering track with oil and conrods...ph34r.gif

I won't be able to make it for this, but you guys should have fun out there.

Just FYI, SAU-NSW had a private drag day a few months back (September 18th), and we'll be having another one this year on June 2nd.

Because we hire the track exclusively, we get a whole day's worth of runs instead of just a few hours, and later in the day you can literally go out and do as many consecutive runs as you want. Charlie (NXTIME on here) and another guy on a motorbike would not even bother going back to pick up their time-slips - they'd do a run and come straight back out, turn around after going under the tower, and line up again straight away!

I personally did 8 runs over the span of the day (with a best of 13.8) and Charlie and the guy on the bike must have done 20+ runs each...

Here's the wrap-up thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/377530-saunsw-drag-day-wrap-up-thread/

      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.
