Hey all

Long story short, I have a drift car, and need another steering rack to put in it. I'm going to disable the power steering in it, so that's not an issue. However, will an S13 steering rack fit an R32 skyline?

I can use the tie rods / tierod ends off the Skyline rack if need be. Just wondering if the bolt locations and steering shaft input are the same.

Did a search but not much info on it, and the only cars I've found with the modification are Jap ones, doesn't state if its boltin or not.

the lines are totally differrent but from mem they bolt in. BUT the things are nearly impossible to drive without power assistance (ive tried) and totally 100% impossible to drift.... look at series III bluebird as they were manual and similar in size.

the swap you talk about uses s13 housing and different rack and pinion.... only drama is i cant work out the internals they use to swap them from power assit to non assisted. i have a rack aprt but never got around to searching the wreckers for suitable donor internals.

Ah, I take it they're a bit quicker ratio then?

I definately saw that the lines are different. Darn, should have thought to grab the lines when I ripped it out. (I decided to go and get one anyway, figured I could resell it if need be).

As far as I know, to swap from power assisted to non power assisted, you just pull the rack out and remove the centre seal.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?

      Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
