And how come no one's made any comments on the pic that Ghostrider posted above of the black '31 ?

Check these babies out!! :)  :bahaha:

I didn't look because it was a 31.

it's hard to tell with those wheels being black, but they could very well turn out to look like this... (lets see if I got the manage attachments thing right!)

This is a very interesting post.

It's now a fortnight later, since the last thread and still nothing, even for a keyboard socialist like R30 Julie, I would think once in 14 days she would see her PC in operation, like even if just to check emails.

Come on Julie, we are all hangin to see this most rare example you claim to have, if it is as you say, please supply us with some picture evidence.

After all, you did ask for our help finding you a wheel, but even with it on blocks the pic will settle all of our thoughts.

You claim to have pics, if they are prints, get them scanned into a PC somewhere and let us see, any computer cafe will have the tools to do this, or a computer shop would be next if you don't have access to a digital camera.

Let's see what you have got!

What an interesting thread... all you guys seem to be tripping over yourselves to get a look at Julie's car that would more than likely turn out to be something we have all seen before.

On the off chance that it is in fact something unusual i would be very interested in seeing it, and the import papers for it if they are still around.

I have the original import papers for mine when it was imported in Sydney close to 15years ago (i think, haven't looked at them for a while) and i can happily say that mine is one of the first six imported into Aust and have had it for many years now and have done more than enough homework on R30's to know that there was never a GTR version.... mine is a 'GT' version and for Julie to have a 'racing' version would be a very rare thing to find here in Australia as the Japanese would be some what reluctant to let something like a GTR R30 out of the country as mad as they are..

We're not calling you a liar Julie, it's just that we are skeptical of what you may, or may not have there... :)

    • 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.
