Ok so here's the update I've been waiting for. After having my tyres slashed and subsequently rims ruined (they weren't even CLOSE to being round anymore :S) I've got new ones. Seeing as it happened at work they are covered by my works insurance but they didn't wanna pay the excess and higher premiums so they're gunna just pay me back. So I've been looking for R34 rims but there weren't any in Sydney and I didn't wanna ship interstate and have my work think I was doing something dodgy, so I looked for other genuine nissan rims in the price bracket and found a sweet set of 350z version 2 rims. These are genuine forged Rays rims which were a factory option from the MY06 and onwards 350z. From factory they actually cost around 5500!! And I picked them up for the low low price of $600 haha. Chucked some new Michelin Pilot Sport 3's on as that's what I had on my old rims (and they are incredible for grip, if you need axing grippy tyres get PS3's) and here we are. Now some before and afters, cos everyone likes pics

Looks great. Raj told me what happened to your wheels. Wtf is wrong with people.

A little bit of low would really set it off.

Yeah I know. Really pissed off but at least it's worked itself out now.

Would love to drop it about 20-30mm but that's a fair way off yet

      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.
