A31 Steering Rack

[VRdrift]

hey guys anyone know of a good steering rack rebuilder in brisbane? need to get mine fixed for a roadworthy, it has HICAS

unless theres something similar that will fit ?

cheers

S13 fits

Not 100% though.

The actuall rack bolts to the engine xmember, but the flairs on the lines that bolt into the rack.

I used a feed line off a ca18 silvia and the return was sr20 s13. Had to tweak the lines abit, its not exactly good looking but it works

S13 fits

Being front wheel drive i wouldn't think they would fit , r32/s13 are a direct replacement in memory , watch out for hicas and non hicas too , pretty sure they were different

Hi Toffy,

Thank you for your immediate response very much appreciated. Looking at your response, as what I have understand that r32/s13 is better for replace/change for A31 is it correct toffy?. This HIcas and Non Hicas does it matter?

By the way, what type of car mostly uses r32/s13 rack?

Hi Toffy

R32 is r32 skyline

S13 is s13 Silvia

Both those cars use their own racks?

I don't have HICAS but I know a R32 rack is a direct replacement.

Already have a spare R32 GTS-T at my shop now.

In my vague memory of last time i went hunting for a steering rack , they are all the same except for where the lines bolt into the rack . A very common conversion is to put an s14 steering rack in . Last time i put an s13 rack in my non hicas c33 (which are the same as cefiro) . However , i tried to fit the pressure line from a non hicas cefiro onto a non hicas r32 , the entry point of the line into the rack was different . Going from what i've been told , hicas racks have extra lines for the four wheel steering . I hope this helps

HICAS does have a few extra lines.

You can just block the 2 extra fittings on the rack for HICAS and use that rack.
