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.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
