Here is a picture before the cars untimely death. Picture quality isn't crash hot, it was dark when I took the picture.

There are some things that are not replaceable...material objects are. As Nizman said, he could have owed boxhead's mum more than some money for insurance

sorry to here but there are better cars in the fish bowl...

You'll look back on it in a couple of years and laugh...(maby)

i already am laughing at it... i mean it happened, being sad/angry or anythin wont change it, so we mayaswell look back at it and look on bright side, this time i will prolly get a turbo car :) mmhmm gts4..

Boxhead, Nizman, glad to see you're both OK, but don't take it to heart, cars trip over all the time for no reason (like my race car during my first race, guess that's why they have "roll" cages.)

The tragedy here is that a blue skyline has been lost:(

mmmmmm, very bad, yes very bad.

I rolled my 77 model yellow mazda 626 just after I got it, not because of bad driving, I just hated the car.....

I would like to offer my sympathies and my car for you to buy if you are interested.....?

i wouldnt mind having a look at the seat belt brakets to see if they streched as during compliance we take out the higrade steel brackets and replace them with crap yes crap mild steel brackets

im actually glad to see they held but i myself would feel better if the rules changed next year to leave the standard belts in place.

other compliancers know what im talking about here.

      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.
