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.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
