kabab i think is correct, if you have registered as a 4 seater then you have to have 4 seats, but when registering again u must specify that its a 2 seater.......if thats even possible for an import im not sure.

Easy, you can fit a full set of slicks in the back when you take the seat out. Can't even fit 1 rim in the boot.....

i can only comment about the ACT .... my brother happens to be a vehicle inspector .. fortunately not one of your regular rego nazis :thumbsup: anyhow, we were talking cars a bit back and a friend asked just that question ... basically you can take the back seat out of any (import or not) as long as you remove all seat belts and sign some doco (stat dec methinx) which means your car now only handles 2 people

Is that still going to be the case this year with SEVS and things in general ( like compliancing) just getting tougher? I was reading something 2 mths ago and it was talking about having to get your car re-complied after each mod to say that it's "safe" for road use in Aus. :confused:

I really don't know what impact SEVS will have ... I'm not too sure anyone really does ... my understanding of SEVS is that it is the most blatant attempt market protection I have seen for ages and is a complete crock of shite ... they have nothing to do with safety, just money .... I'm not bitter, I promise

yes i think your about right aleks.. there tryin to protect jobs that are in makin cars here rather then the car makers actually making cars we like at a nice price that we prefer over imports...

46n2, basically you car in new system has to be stock to import, if its not, aftermarket things have to be replaced with stock items, and compliancer have to provide evedence they destroyed aftermarket itesm...

      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.
