wow you guys are really critical

have you ever heard of collaborating

you cannot do everything on your own

i have different guys making different things

all these components have to come from somewhere

gearbox adapter plate

custom CV chafts

custom tail shaft

custom exhaust

ECU wiring

throttle bodies

inter cooler piping

custom engine mounts

custom bonnet

fuel setup

custom panel beating the engine bay (big hammer)

you want me to make all that on my own, ill be here for the rest of my life

so i have found the best guys in each area to help me out

sorry if i spread the work around

my guys have certain skills, they cant do everything

now if i said i had a team of magicians, thats a different story

Wow, yes its going to be expensive, he said he didn't care about cost, if I had money to throw around I would get a Toyota 4 litre V8 in my 5 and then blow it, is that smart or stupid, who cares what other people think, I don't.

As for the RB, yes it was a good OLD motor, but by Christ there are better newer powerplants out there.

Stop posting, buy it and build it, post in here when its done.

As for the fab work, you need a pelethera of subject matter experts and fabricators for a project that involves lots of mechanical and electrical engineering.

Its been done before, its not new, just make it happen.

BTW, all this talk about street racing makes me think you are a pimply school kid, if this is indeed true, please go away now, thanks for the LOLS everyone.

Looks like it bump steers like a mofo! What's with the manual stick AND the tiptronic? Wierd....

Sounds like he's running 044's too....

Looks more painful than enjoyable that's for sure!

Winner!

It is a drag car only, they have run mid 7's with an RB... now with a VR inside.

      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.
