Hey guys, ive just been told that the steering rack mounts or somethin to that discprition are almost worn out causing a flat spot in my steering in my r32 gtst.

Has anyone had this happen to them, if so, how much to fix?(or estimates of those in the know.)

Also i have been recommended by friend of myn to try and source a r34 gtt rack, as the steering will be much more direct, has anyone heard this. also does anyone know were to source one of these, and the estimate of cost?

thanks

hi I've had the whole steering rack and all tie rods replaced in my car and its not that much of a hassle. Can you be a bit more specific as to what is worn?

Personally i've changed both my tie-rods in my '93 32GTS-T as I wanted everything to be absolutely perfect. If you're getting vague handling then its most likely worn upper control arm bushe's, tie rods etc. Nothing unusual for a used car.

I doubt a 34 GTT rack would fit but you never know......

thanks guys.. well sorry i was vague with description, the guys aligning my wheels the other week were vague too..

all i know now is, when i went to get rego check, it passed, and he tryed moving the bushes etc near the wheels and they were all fine, so my mechanic mate(cant do pink slips etc) said its the steering rack bushes(the whoel rack shoudl be replaced)...

he seems to think that it would be better fitting an r34 for better steering, all i wanted to know about these things are will that require same power steering pump pressure as r32, and will it fit :s thanks ofr your help tho guys much appreciated.

hayai32 - was that a brand new rack? or 2nd hand sourced from wreckers...

ok few answers as i was into a mechanics today...

basically r34 rack will not fit.. totally different (damn he had to tell me this, as now my DIY buddy has the idea that we should just change cross member in my car etc so i may fit the r34 rack :S )

anyway.. 2 wreckers wanted $350, and $400 for the rack, another place said dont have one but $130 for it hwen they get one.. they said should be one on a half cut coming next week, so i put my name down for that. egg silent. thanks for your help

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
