Boosty - where theres a will theres a way :)

haha yeah it was funny when i lived outta home ...... the ex thought my parents had too much control over me .... my parents thought the ex had too much control over me and there was this constant tug of war for my attention .... it was pretty stressful at the time but now i look at it - it was kinda funny. ;)

U sound like quite the commodity there Niz.

I still live with my parents and while it does drive me crazy at times, its all good. When i get mom and dad asking me questions and moving my stuff i kinda get close to losing it. I think all ppl our age that live at home do.

Parents went away for near on 2 months a while back and left me and my big bro who doesnt know even how to work the washing machine and my little sister who is not too bad but a bit of a slob to fend for ourselves.

I loved it, couldnt get enough. The regime of Shaun had begun. Eat what i felt like (i cooked the meals) kept the house spotless and basically did as i liked.

After they got back i alomost had a breakdown but now its back to normal and ive come to accept the norm.

Basically id move out but its too much fun having no responsibilites.:uh-huh:

Well actually moving back in with mine wasnt so bad - cos they appreciated me more - and they werent there half the time anyway (in bunbury) and so it was just me and a mate of mine had the house - so it was basically like still living on my own ..... and when they did occasionally come back to High Wycombe they appreciated me a lot more since id been away and were absolute honeys about giving me my own space etc ..... but now its gone backward quite a bit.

Im hoping this summer they migrate down to Bunbury for most of the summer again and then i maybe tempted to stay.

Boosty - i cope pretty well without my folks ..... my mums always worked so from an early age i was taught to do my own washing and make my own meals etc.

Yeh my mom used to work so ive pretty much done everything for myself. She hasnt worked in a while now but the habit still stuck around.

I guess the old "if u want a job done right do it ureself" theory applies here. My bro is hilarious, he would rather eat 3 serving of noodles a day than make something else. Complete nut job me thinks.

i like making my own meals - i get in a cooking mood ..... unfortunately my mum never had the time to teach me to use anything other than the microwave ........ so cooking was a lot of trial n error haha.

Paul - yeah - still cant believe that we havent had a family Xmas in three years ;) !!

    • 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.
