Does anyone know of any places that have pre reconditioned steering racks?

Mines needs an overhaul but getting one already done seems easier

tried just jap at kirrawee? I had southcoast suspensions put a new rack in mine.I think it may have come from just jap as they are only around the corner

I got mine re-conditioned about 3 months ago, no good :domokun:

for the money it cost I would have been better getting new or even a second hand working one.

You had your rack rebuilt and its still not good? care to explain what it feels like? I had my rack rebuilt and it still didnt feel right the day i drove it. Felt better but not the best. then went down hill over a couple of weeks until it got back to whrere it was before the rebuild.

just really crunchy, and there are still splinters of metal coming out when you bleed the p/s from the rack.

it also boils over alot again.. it stopped as soon as I got it rebuilt.. but then it came back again shortly after. I think the boiling is the pump and the metal splinters are the rack.

I can't remember the exact cost, but it was about 1000 to get the pump and rack done, including removing and replacing it... probably a bit more as i got it done in two stages and I remember the last bill was 1000 (which included somethign else aswell)

I haven't even been giving it a hard time.

actually.. f**kin hell, that shits me... i had a spare power steering rack at my mechanics now that i think about it.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
