Hey guys,

I just got offered a job in Hobart and I'm moving down there from NSW in early July. This is the first time I have moved interstate and I'm pretty damn excited about the whole thing. I want to bring my car down at some stage but I don't know anything about doing this. Will I have to change the rego to tasmanian registration? I know I have to change my lisence over after 3 months.

Trying to work out if it would be easier just to sell there car here with NSW rego and buy something else down there.

Thanks

I bought my car from Melb and took it back here(Launnie) and had to get a roadworthy done then take that to service tas to get it regoed

pretty simple, i think if your car is ok up there it shouldnt be too bad here, although my car was pretty much stock.

i think you can also get your remaining rego back from NSW when you hand over plates and show proof of new rego,(receipt), thats what i did with the remaining 10 months on the melb rego

And I'll come to it........... if my car is going by then :( Bring it over man the more the merrier............. is that how you spell merrier or is it merryier.......... god knows anyway it's easy to get it roadworthied and swapped over. Most of the imports down here are from the mainland anyway ;)

Cheers for the info guys, pretty keen for a track day when I get settled in. Went down to Hobart 2 weeks ago and found a place to rent, really nice city and the food was great.

We drove to the top of mount wellington, holy shit it was freezing up there. Probably going to wait till summer to go back there again.

Going to take my car down this week and go over on the boat and bring all my crap with me and then I'm starting work on monday. Hopefully i'll see you guys at some trackdays in the future.

      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.
