Try your local steering and suspension place.

I'm certain they will know, and would have sent steering racks out to get R+R'd.

It will take your ride off the road for a week........obviously.

Ive been quoted $170 here in the ACT.

Assuming that is remove/refit and then rebuild?

You try removing the rack outta a GTR and then fit it back in, you'll understand why it's costly.

I took my rack in whilst it was removed, so it was only $150-$200 or something fully rebuilt.

I got Revzone to send my rack out for rebuild. They seemed to get a better price than what I could find. However this was already pulled off the car.

Try contacting Revzone or your trusted import mechanic on their recommendations.

Nope that was for exchange or rebuild if they don't have one on the shelf... perhaps he gave me the wrong price ill have to speak with them again, I was expecting something in the $3-400 range.

Its not to difficult to do yourself if you have a bit of mechanical knowledge. I've done the rack in my GTR when it started leaking and also done a few 32's and s14's as well. The only bit you'll have to get a shop to do is remove the drivers side seal, I've always taken the stripped rack in with me when I went to buy the seal kit and they have done it for me. Use a bit very thin plastic when you slide the new drivers side seal onto the shaft to protect it from the teeth and the rest is pretty self explanatory. Oh and its much easier to get the nut off if you use a rattle gun.

On a side note I got a 33GTR seal kit from the place I normally go to and the seals were all wrong, went somewhere else as they said they couldn't help anymore as they just ordered in kits and the second place presented me with exactly the same incorrect kit. Ended up having to used half the 33GTR kit and half of a 32GTST kit.....

Thanks mate!! I wonder what nissan would want for genuine seals, would make it easier to get the correct stuff cause its all layed out in FAST.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
