for sure Dan; you ignore just about any price you'd see on the piece of paper hanging in the window of a car at a car yard.

jeez i remember the price listed in the window of my white 33 (in my avatar) when i bought it from a yard back in the day... we knocked quite a sum of that price off compared to what i paid :)

guys need ya help palease :)

oka so went to go see my car today down at premier paint n panel n its finally coming together..yay..but a lil problem has occured..they have gotten my car to start and god does it sound good to finally here it again lol but now my hicas light is on and the steering is heavy as...ive had the hicas light on before but the steering wasnt affected..all i did was change the power steering fluid and it went away.

the guy said that had to disconnect some hoses around the power steering pump to do some work so im hoping that it just needs a top up of some fluid

would i be right??? or is it something else??

there hoping to have my car finished by this friday....cant wait :)

ur help will be appreciated.thanks

you will prob find that due to the car sitting around for so long, all the fluid has drained from the lines, and dried up.

give it another change, and see how you go :)

good to hear its nearly done...

This might not be the issue, but my Hicas light was on a while back and the steering was really heavy. It turned out to be a loose battery terminal (no bullshit). New terminal and the issue went away.

Check that, but more than likely it won't be that.

But check the power steering fluid and the hose connections.

Last night after work i decided to go to town on my dump pipes with a die grinder. Where the 2 pipes join together i ground out the hole to perfectly match the shape of the smaller pipe, spent about 1 hour on them as they are stainless so had to try and keep the metal cool. It should help to improve exhaust flow a fair bit :wacko:

hmm, how are b pillars stuck on? (The black plastic that is between the front and rear side windows) just glue?

On 33's theres a couple of lugs behind there, just pull the bottom out gently until it unclips (you may need a flathead) then lift it upwards. I've never tried doing it on a 34 so it might be different.

went and had my car remapped at turbo tune today and i gained 34 rwkw out of it

first run pulled 88.1 rwkw with a blocked fuel filter and fooked fuel pump..so replaced both of them and it pulled 111.2 rwkw

then after the remap it pulled 122.2rwkw..

im pretty happy with it considering the only mods are HD clutch, 2.5" full exhaust system with race cat and K&N panel filter

    • That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age
    • Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.
    • Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.       
    • If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.
    • If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
