Nissan OEM part for t28 flange which I'm assuming will fit my t518z and aftermarket dump (as they should both be same as the original as they are bolt-ons).

Nissan have said $41 new cos I've heard the aftermarket ones are crap.

Can anyone beat $41 or suggest an aftermarket one that will be good?

This is in preparation for fitting a new stainless exhaust manifold so I figure may as well change over a gasket (or put one on) while I'm there :)

You are right about the aftermarket ones being crap, but if your genuine one isn't busted, i'd reuse it. They last ages.

I bet you will find all sorts of nuts and bolts missing when putting the manifold on....

Too_much - yeah i'd like to re-use it but I don't wanna have everything apart then find out it ain't there or ain't in a condition to be put back on so I will buy one and think of it as an upgrade. If the old one is good that's cool I'll sell mine on or keep it spare - I'm sure someone will need it.

VLS_BACK - Thanks - please let me know I will be ordering soon.

meggala - S15?! which part is s15? the dump pipe ?

PS. is there a way I can check what condition it's in before I start taking stuff off ? I'm assuming no-way.

Well if advan's one is half price I'll pay the postage and get that. Mind you $10 postage = $30.. $40 for a nissan one.. HMM

well. truth be told i will pay the lowest price for the good that works. if it doesn't work ill pay more till i get the cheapest one that will.. .. i just dont like overpaying.. and $40 for a freakin boot seems exxy.

Guess I'll have to get it then..

      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.
