Sup,

Back in Brisbane for a Job interview this afternoon, then back down the coast for the rest of the week. Had the HICAS light come on while on the highway. Pulled off to get some water, light off. Back on the highway and 20 minutes later light back on....grrr! Then, just to make an absolute ass of my self at the first red light I come to in Brisbane I turn the engine off to reset the HICAS light and the damn thing wouldn't start up right away! Bloody turbo timer and kill switch and alarm causing me havoc and backing up traffic on Coro Drive.

I vote me for dumb ass of the day!

Could just need p/s fluid

I thought it was only the 32's that shared the power steering with the HICAS? Isn't it all electric in the 34?

Yeah I'm not sure, you're probably right.

I just know if I saw those symptoms in my 31, I would check the P/S fluid level :)

Hi scott, guess you didn't expect some crazy guys in an Alfa to be on the horn at you. Really need a brumby 4 speed

My parents have had 2 seagate drives fail, my mate had one that never even worked properly from the store. They had a bad(relativly) batch.

Haha! Yeah, I was thinking WTF is with this guy... Look over and see you giving me the international peace sign. Pity you weren't doing 3G......inverted. haha

do holden use the VDO headunits in the commo? you guys getting issues with the sat nav and AM reception on those units?

In news today, offically have been promoted at work to head lotus tech/senior technician, also been given a payrise.

Hahah yer scott i couldn't resist! i thought you would have been freaked out a little.

Pretty sure the brumby has broken something in the box, when you accelerate it sounds like a clicking CV, when cruising along it makes the same noise / bearing noise also but that all goes when you push the clutch in and coast along. So im thinking i'll get a good condition gearbox and a new clutch to throw in, i'll also replace the CV boots and inspect them for wear. Thoughts?

Congrats! Top stuff.

Thoughts?

Tell her to sell it for scrap metal and buy a real car instead

    • $350 for a skid pan day at EC? WTF?? They used to be like <$100? We had track days at EC south and the full circuit for $350-odd WOOOWWWW COVID ruined us all.
    • C'mon Matt, our cars are classics now... *looks at 1kg BigW bottle mounted in front of seat* ah that's been expired for a while now... 😢
    • As above, can't rely on rubber belts too much when you're hitting OVER NINE THOUSAND !!!11!! revs, so electric conversion (Astra as mentioned above) is the way to go.
    • I highly recommend spending a lot of time searching the posts here. There is literally decades worth of information here, and whatever you can think of has been done (besides maybe quad-rotor AWD into a Skyilne chassis). Like, there was someone with an AWD Silvia and a crazy built SR20, and I've personally seen an R31 Skyline (Australian spec) with R32 GT-R running gear (including AWD).
    • Dragging some reo behind a ute or trailer will smooth out a dirt road, I've used reo a few times to do unsealed road maintenance when we didn't have any plant available  It's best done when the dirt is wet though, and then you just let it dry out for a day to harden up For wetting the dirt I've used some 44 gal drums in a ute or trailer, and a water pump connected to a hose with a old sprinkler tied to the reo to wet the material down whilst spreading Basically just drive slowly up and down the road a few times dragging a few sheets of reo wired together with the sprinkler wetting it all down as you go
