Then it sounds like the problem that I addressed in the first page of this thread, You need to remove the wheel, boss and all and compare the slot in the boss with the standard wheel and there will be a difference. the sensor must be positioned exactly central on the hole in the boss, and using foam and or tape to fatten up the prong on the sensor worked perfectly for me and many others.

Have you tried this??

sorry buddy i have not tried this yet although im not sure what the hicas sensor looks like.

Ive had the wheel off and im not sure what the hicas sensor looks like :P

Fark............ I just spent 20 minutes replying to this in a funny and witty manner with many references to male and female genitalia included and the whole lot was lost when i posted..................... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I have to cook dinner now and then work on my car.............:crazy:

Any way the attached pic shows the rear view of the standard 33 wheel. the highlited hole is the nice tight girly bit that the hicas dick fits into...... the aftermarket boss has a larger slot and the dick floats around in it too much resulting in the sensor being off center when you are driving in a straight line.......... so fatten the part that fits in the affore mentioned hole using electrical tape to create a tight fit and bob is your uncle.....

failing that i can explain at MAS if you still don't understand, don't be shy not everyone is expected to be proficient at the art of vehicular modification.. ;)

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 12 years later!

      The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding

      Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.

      Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
