I've decided to say goodbye to my skyline. either that or turn it into a rally car for weekend use. The reason being: I bought a chaser yesterday. It only took about 4 weeks to find one and win it (at auction). But the patience has paid off, and now I have a white (pearl?) JZX100 Manual, getting ready to be shipped to its new home.

Its only a series one, and a '96 model, but still teh JZX100. I had to go older to be able to afford the manual. theyre in high demand and not easy to come buy. was bidding on maybe 8 a week, and just missing out. I dont have any pics yet, and wont for about another week. Apparently its "Golden Week" in japan, which i figure is just a week of public hols. once i get better pics ill post them. I only have the ones that came with the auction sheet.

The only thing now is to wait...and find some sites that have parts for these cars. they're harder to find than fruit in a fat kids lunch box.

I imported it through imports101, and recommend them to anyone thinking of importing (or again).

anyway, just thought i'd let you all know. its no 34gtr, but its enough to piss off alot of V8 lovers around my town. and theres a lot, i live in bathurst.

Good to hear. I wish mine was a manual. I had to decide between auto series 2 or manual series 1, and chose the auto. Those manuals really push the price up. I'm still not sure if I made the right decision, though.

I second the call for pics too. Danny should send you a set of high res ones like mine.

BTW Did you end up needing a set of wheels?

Yeah he said he'd get pics to me ASAP.

I think I will need wheels. I'll see what happens closer to when it gets here. It has pretty simple 6 spokes on it. danny might be able to find some wheels for me for compliance. dunno yet.

      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.
