Sr31 Sr20Det Into R31 50% Complete. Need Help

[SR31]

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.
