Looking forward to this. Currently under the gun with uni assignments (have a research assignment due the 26th).... but I think I will be good to go for tomorrow. Might have to knock off a touch early from the tech night (around 8.30pm) so apologies in advance for that. Up late now to get as much done as work done as I can.

Bobby has kindly offered finger food for those in a rush.

Don't get a ticket though!

There is no decent place to eat right near JEM so I might have to go a Km away.

Double Demerits has begun.

Haha, 2 hour cruise down the M5 at 5kmph

Lol i really dont want to get stuck in my traffic in my car at the moment :P

There'll be a bogus traffic report through 2GB and 2UE this afternoon that the M5 is "chockers - avoid at all costs".

Ignore the above, and you should get a free run :P

We are coming from Newcastle way and SHOULD be heading against the traffic i hope :yes:

IF i get stuck in traffic you may have reports of people passing out at the wheel due to my ethanol fumes at idle :P

    • 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.
