Hi there. a long while ago i asked if it was possible to put a sr20det into an r31. well i didnt get many answers so i decided to go ahead anyway. i got all the wiring working and ecu, fuel pump ect, got an s13 Xmember in it but now my problem is getting the steering rack to work. i got an s13 PS rack because the r31 rack did not fir onto the crossmember. the s13 rack is bolted to the crossmember currently but i am having some issues with the tie rod ends. when i had the 2 racks out of the car i lined them bot up and they were the same length. but now in my car with the s13 stuff the front wheels wont line up. like 1 wheel is straight and the other side is off the the left or right a bit. i have wound in the tie rod as far as they go but no luck. can any one help i am geting desperate here. please. thanks

I recently replaced a rack in a R33 and when we connected it up the wheels were pointing in the wrong direction.

We started with the steering wheel in the straight ahead position and then measures the distance between the front edges of the tyres and the same for the rears to find that they wer 75 mm out. We simply then started adjusting them in by eye keeping the steering wheel in the centre position until we got both measurement to be about the same.

This was good enough to allow us to drive the car to a mates workshop for a proper wheel alignment and we were only a few mm out when he put it on the machine.

Another issue could be that the rack is in a different plan because it is mounted in a different location- again I would get it as good as you can and take it for a wheel alighment to find out exactly what is going on.

Good luck.

      I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless

      Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.

      As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
