Just posting this to inform you all that theres a new workshop opened up at Yatala called "Proline Automotive".

The address is:

3/118 Lahrs Road

Yatala QLD

55407900

If you would like to phone the boys, contact either Lindsay, Clint or Scott on the number above.

They will be into performance and imports plus the everday car servicing. The two mechanics that are working there are very experienced in working on skylines inparticular.

They don't have a dyno at the moment but are looking into one next year sometime.

So Mister Nizmech, if that is your real name, heres a problem for you:

Recently reassembled engine running rich on 1 cylinder. Plenty of fuel, plenty of spark, timing ok, good compression.

Would you:

(a) Have a smoke,

(B) Buy a pie from the lunch lady,

© Read the paper,

or

(d) Check the plenum / inlet manifold for a misplaced rag which has now jammed up number 1 runner and is stopping air from reaching the cylinder

I'll tell you what WE did. All of the above. In that order.

    • 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.
