The ECUTEK has RACEROM, the rev match is enabled (I am really bad at heel toe) this does it for you.

Also has flat foot shifting enabled ( ECUTEK uses both fuel cut and ignition retard working together), if it was just fuel cut I wouldnt use it, I like my pistons, if it was just ignition I wouldn't use it as I like my turbo.

 

It has launch control, but this feature has never been enabled.

I may be interested in a mint original AUD S15 with cash my way.

Minor mods are good but......

Disclaimer: No pi gs, no respays, no 400hp fully dayglow spec with body kits, no prior accident repairs.

I will have it checked out with a fine tooth comb.

I have been looking around lately at S15's, I want a good one though, and by good I mean mint, the better the car the less cash my way.

Example: I missed out one 2 years ago, it had 4k original km on it and it sold for 28k.

Both cars will end up at a local shop for inspection, Pulse Racing is close to me.

If you are looking for a p-plater fun weekend car - I have an AP1 S2000... 4.44 diff and some other fun stuff. I need a more work appropriate car :(

Shoot me a email with some more info and pics mate. How much do you think the S2000 is worth realistically.

Thanks for the email

 

Your car looks sweet but sadly not what I am after.

 

I wish you luck with your sale.

 

Cheers

Keen to hear your thoughts on the 86, coming from the STI, by the looks you got the limited ed. ver with the brembos, sachs and updated diff? 

Really liking these at the moment, just finding it hard to find $30K from the back of the sofa.

So far so good, I replaced the Michelins with some RS4's today, should be good once they are scrubbed in, I had some RS3's on my MX5 and liked them alot.

In the couple of days I've had it I'm loving it, even with the crappy Michelins it was a hoot, it's good to be back in a light(ish) RWD platform.

Power wise it wouldn't pull the skin of custard, but that not the point of it, or why I got it.

Wringing its neck, throwing it into a corner, playing with some oversteer is so much fun.

I also grabbed a cat back for it, a XForce 2.5" jobbie, sounds alot better, well you can hear it now anyway, with the stock cat back I couldn't even hear the exhaust, I estimate the power increase from the cat back is an astonishing 0%.

So, for future mods, some alignment bolts from whiteline are on the cards, stock camber adjustments are non existent, apart from toe, stock camber is 0.0 deg, I'm going to hammer some corners and see what the tyres are saying and dial some in from there.

Cheers

Awesome, good to hear Mark, i totally agree with you on that simple layout is best as i get older, more fun at less speed with less to go wrong.

Camber bolts only gave me -0.5 with them maxed out, rears are -1.3 L and 0.97 R (not adjustable).

I'll try some 14mm lower camber bolts for the front and see where that puts it, if all else fails I will grab some strut tops as well, I will grab some adjustable arms for the rear.

      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.
