hey just wondering if from how i can best discribe it anyone would know what my problem could be. it kinda sounds like brakes that have sand on the discs or something. like a light grinding/scraping sound, seems to be coming from around the clutch area although i at first thought it was coming from my belts up front. any1 who understands wat i mean, figure it could be a common issue but not sure. would love some suggestions wat to check as i cant afford a mechanic right now. cheers

Hey man,

Its all good, i need advise too in my thread, and i know what its like when no1 will help you out, i got like 100 or so views with no1 sayin nothing...

Pretty intense job, the gear box has to come off, and while your there u might as well do the clutch. We sell Xtreme clutches at my work if u need a price, probably get the bearing with it..

I done a clutch by myself 1 night and didn't work out too well, i couldn't figure out how to put the clutch fork back on and had a mate come over and finish for me. Depends how good you are swinging a wrench, i have big hands and some of the bolts on the back of the box are a bitch lol..

But yeh glad too help bud,

Craig.

      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.
