G'day lads.

I'm currently trying to work my way through a few car related debts and unfortunately i'm also rapidly approaching rego time.

Now due to the above my funds are kinda short and theres a few small things that i need to get done before i can get everything reged up and sorted.

currently i'm going to need some new tires and a few other small things. but theres a catch.... i have an electrical fault!

Somehow the 33gtst has sprouted a short, now i cant afford to call out an auto electrician, cos if i did that i cant afford my tyres and rego and other important debts.

So what i'm offering is a slab of beer (type to be selected by the volunteer) to anyone who is willing to rid me of this problem once and for all. I had originally thought it was a didgy contact on one of my battery terminals but i've replaced it with no sucess.

Should it turn out not to be the most straight forward of things i am open to increasing the slab count.

For those who are interested i live in the northern suburbs of sydney.

PM me or post a reply if your interested.

M

i dont know whats wrong exactly, but my moneys on a power drain somewhere.

i checked today to see if its magically gone away (as sorts occasionally do) but iinstead its sent my battery dead.... good stuff.

Now electronics isnt hard.... its all wire crimping and insulation. but with all the various components and yards and yards of loom i wouldnt know where to start. i think i need to look over someones shoulder and learn.

but it used to be a case of turn key get flickering lights on the dash.... its now turn the key and be defened by silence and blinded by a lack of anything light like.

    • 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.
