yeah i know where it runs RV i think they probably wanted to do what you said, ok so i'll tell them to simply replace the ruptured section for me and if they say no then.... well.... i'll deal with no power steering cos i ain't paying that much!

nebuchmeizzer: i've read the entire ECU can just go "kerplunk" if they haven't been looked after too well and high mileage, n i doubt you'd really be too inclined to find yourself stranded on the side of the road somewhere with a car that's gonna cost thousands to fix, also, as far as "cosmetic" electrics go you have proto-type 80's technology and you KNOW nothing good EVER came out of the 80's technology wise...

IE: hicas, automatic lights that turn on for you, power windows, central locking, etc etc etc... not trying to scare you or anything but it's best to look at things realistically other than optimistically =)

only problem i've had with my one is the power steering hose, other than that GREAT car, ABLSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, if you have the money though (making the assumtion you're a mechanic) i would buy a virgin stock one and build it up from there that way you don't have to maintain + mod, knaww meeen?

Ya mechanical and electronic stuff i can fix, electronics is a bitch but i can fix it eventually haha. Modding is all good to, the car in my sig down there was 90% built by me and 10% by my dad.

I might be holding off on the ceffie for a bit now, the old gazelle had a good showing at State Drift last weekend so i might do a little more playing with the rear suspension and see what it can do before i upgrade, that is unless someone comes along and offers good cash for the old girl but that's unlikely.

The gazelle stands out alot at meets which is good :P

Is the power steering interchangeable with other Nissans?  

R32? S13?

I mean the whole lot - pump, column, everything..

i would say similiar if not the same to an s13 ......? im not fully sure though

but i recently did the steering wheel and the boss kit for the r32 did not hook up proprly ...but the jap s13 one did ...

replaced my old man's ceffy's steering wheel with an R32 steering wheel. works fine. good thing we don't have HICAS in the ceffy, which is what you'd want in a drift car anywyas...

The only problems I've had with mine was a crack in the fan (so the fan got replaced) and holes in the exhaust (so the exhaust got replaced). There was a minor oil leak somewhere due to bad washers, which were replaced and all is good now.

is this cefiro boss kit?

matches up with S13?

the r32 one fits the spline but it had nothing to turn off the indicators or activate the horn ....the kit for the australian nissan didint fit cause the spline is too large .

i finally got one which was made in italy for it, i think for the s13 but i could be wrong ....but it fit and everything hooks up fine indicators turn off and horn works i had to add a little bit of wire for the horn but ohwell it works

      And also there were for sale scams and the like. For sale posts need piccies, and not having piccies makes it harder to do a driveby scam.

      And I forgot to add my *** footnote to the above post, which was that the pipework mods would be even more significant than what had to be done for the highflow. So just add that onto the list. Pipework mods are no killer, just made the tasklist longer at a time when extra tasks were not welcome.

      I mean he could post them to imgur or the like and create a link. But yeah, spam bots absolutely will post pictures in their first posts.

      Ah ok, reason I asked was for the sake of not having to upgrade everything if the turbo couldn't be capped.

      pffft! My alignments are starting to take 3-4 weeks each. Bugger overnight - that would be a dream! Overnight is when I leave it on stands with the rear suspension in pieces, hoping I can remember where I was at when I come back to it. I have to set the car up on a level surface so I can get decent camber measurements, then try to set the RUCAs to the right length to get that right. Then I have to put the car somewhere else where I have enough room to set up the bumpsteer gauge (laser, paper, mirror), so I can dial out that. Then I need to go measure camber again because changing the tension arm length affects that also. Then I need to measure toe, and I can't do that to my own satisfaction at home, so I have to put it on an actual aligner. Then I have to go back and fix the camber again, and if that took more than a half a turn, decide if I want to set up the bumpsteer measurements again. I previously had the bumpsteer almost completely banished and then I started changing things again! And that's only the rear end. Not even gotten to talking about the front yet. And this has been going on in the context of me discovering a seized bolt in the LHR FUCA bush at the upright, hence needing total disassembly to replace that bush and the others that were not far away from the same outcome, replacing sphericals in the front end and making a mistake that resulted in needing to do it again, which is only half done right now. It's a selfmade nightmare. Only have self to blame, etc etc. But regardless, I am so complelely unable to utilise the services of a normal wheel aligner that I have no choice. I haven't found a shop in my city that does "race" alignments - and by that I don't mean I want my car to be set up for racing, but the set of adjustments that I have available and that need to be used to do the alignment are the same as you'd find on a race car. I haven't looked everywhere, but there doesn't appear to be the equivalent of the motorsport focused shops that are present in Sydney and Melbourne. And such an alignment would cost $300, and you only want to do it once in a while, and you don't want to find out that you have to replace bushes and bearings and such while you are spending that $300 so you have to come back and spend it again a week later. So I stay living in my self made nightmare for the moment.
