Stang Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 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.

DannyC33 Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 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 its at boostworx currently. shaun says i should hear from him this mornin sometime... fingers crossed its nothin major/expsensive.

DannyC33 Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/374459-my-c33-laurel/page/4/#findComment-6035641 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyC33 Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 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.. pics Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/374459-my-c33-laurel/page/4/#findComment-6053139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
