looking at the one above and looking and the engine bay pic. ask the seller for a few more pics of the engine bay especially of the cam-gear cover

i cant tell from the pics but that little silver sticker may be from when a timing belt was changed. timing belts "usually" dont get changed till around 100,000kms. if it is a timing belt change sticker it will say when the timing belt was changed. this is just to make sure that its a genuine 69,000km car and not wound back like pretty much every other 1989 gtst

the sticker could be anything but better safe then sorry

^^ make sure you contact them before asking people advice. Also find out how long it's been on the market for and than try and work out why..

if it's still there 3 weeks after the ad.. than it's probably not a) a good buy, B) over priced or c) if it's a R33/R34 GTR than don't even worry..

Most cars will go within 2 weeks of advertising if they are in pretty decent condition and the price is right.. hence ^^ it's already gone..

good luck though - personally I don't think 69,000kms is right.. try 130,000+.. but that's my thoughts.. might have been garaged for the last 10 years.. work it out - that's less than 5,000kms/year.. hmm..

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • 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
