I went into Sleeka Spares a few weeks ago to pick up a HICAS lock bar kit, which includes the bits and pieces for blocking off the hydraulic lines. I'm not sure if it was meant for S13/Cefiro specifically, it was $140, I'm yet to install it though.

I'm actually going there in a few minutes to pick up some A31 Jap novelty plates, will ask them about it for you and let you know later today.

All good man. cheers.

a problem occured yesturday.

on the way to work i stopped at a servo to buy breakfast. (big can of v and a pack of smokes) and when i got back into the car it wouldnt start.

just turned over really quickly. it eventualy cranked into life. but didnt seem happy about it.

got to work parked up. all good.

when i went to leave it wouldnt start at all.

just cranks over really fast.. like it did in the mornin.

it seems like its been gettin harder to start for the last couple weeks now but i hadnt really noticed it till today.

any ideas?

haha yeah he was a decent dude. cant really see it in the pics. but the last meter or so of the flat bed was actually hinged. so it made it on a much flatter incline. otherwise no way in hell the laurel would have made it up onto that truck :P

its at boostworx currently. shaun says i should hear from him this mornin sometime...

fingers crossed its nothin major/expsensive.

minor update.

just rang boost worx.

apparently it now runs... sounds like it should be good.. except they arent actually sure why it stopped work..

or why it now works again for that matter..

apparently the fuel pump isnt building fuel pressure very quickly.

and the ignitor seems to have had a bit of a cry but has now gotten over it.. odd because i changed it yesturday for an apparent known workin one and no difference.

they cleaned up a few terminals and plugs and sensors. took it for a drive and apparently ran sweet other then the stutter. which they diagnosed as a dirty afm so cleaned it and apparently runs sweet now.

they are keepin it for a bit longer to do a few more tests on it. so should get it back tonight.

fingers crossed

so yeah havent really had much of a chance to do anythin with my car lately.

mainly because ive been workin on this

this is my mate lukes car.

some people might remember it from when luke fink owned it.

finally after about 6 weeks of flat out work on this thing is got its first drive last night after 6 months of bein f**ked.

just in time for his wedding in october in which both out laurels will be the wedding cars.

cant f**kin wait.

heres a vid of its first drive

hey guys when i put this lock bar in i want to replace the hicas arms at the same time.

just to make sure the ball joints and stuff are all good.

anyone know a part number for the tie rods in the hicas rears? or if they are the same as anythin?

another question.

i picked up a vg30 turbo yesturday. and im just wondering if i have to change the oil and water lines on my laurel?

i know on my hr31 i had to as it was a redtop and i put a silvertop turbo on it.

but yeah not sure is the c33 silvertops run the same lines as r32.

ive been told that c33/a31 use a redtop turbo from factory?

decided it was time to turn the boost up on saturday. so with out test driving i just screwed the thing down on the turbo tech.

then a little later took it for a drive.

slowly brought up the revs at about 1/3 throttle and in 2nd at about 4k rpm i watched the boost gauge rocket to over 20 psi......

and when i backed off it made this strange woooosh noise. similar to like a vent atmo bov... but i dont have one haha.

anyways. babied it to my destination then wound the boost back down. another test run. 10psi.. aww stock...

eventually got it to sit on 15psi. happy with that got new turbo waitin so itll be ok haha. makes some ah.... funny noises.

and at full boost it does the wooosh thing instead of flutter hahaha.

oh also got the laurel tinted on saturday and fitted up my new chrome passenger headlight and corner light.

coz mine had grey ones on the passenger side for some reason..

    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
