i had 'exhaust tech' in adelaide install the front mount. they used a rb25det kit (r32, 33 i think). the front bar needed to be modified a bit, nothing too serious, just a trim. the cooler fits perfectly you can hardly even notice it. the pipe work required one hole to be cut in the body and the window washer bottle was replaced (too big).

sorry i cant really give a step by step guide as i had this item proffesionally installed. i did watch the whole process so i may be able to answer specific questions.

cheers, doug.

ps, this car will be advertised on carsales.com soon and also local adelaide papers.

Well, as he said, it seems the R33 GTST one lines up all fine and stuff. So any hybrid/chinese style cooler pipes.

So basically, any jap pipe kit would work, but the issues with those pipes kits is that you have cut a hole in the body under the battery tray, where here in tightass victoria, that could cause problems with the po-leece. Naturally, the water bottle needed to be moved, ive noticed that in the stagea they are extra extra large (i think i put 3L in mine last time i filled it up)

Its good to know now that the R33 GTST pipes fit. Thanks mate.

yeah, the washer bottle does the front and back. its also got 2 motors on it. the one that i had put in is from a s15 i think and only has one pump. so when i squirt the water i wash the front and back at the same time!! its actually pretty cool.

my stagea is silver. (and for sale, and in ADELAIDE :)

yep, the r33 kits do the job perfectly, they come with instructions for those who are techinally minded. also you have to trim the radiator fan, i forgot that bit, its in the instructions...

    • 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.
