She's sexy, she purrs nicely, she gets nasty when i drive her hard..

One question if anyone knows, how da hell do u take da MOMO Boss Kit off?

It's one of these..

http://members.optusnet.com.au/darr...fy/boss_kit.jpg

The problem is that when driving straight, the steering wheel either points 45 degrees left or right.

Can't adjust with the 6 screws cos it'll just point 45 degrees left or right..

Don't think wheel alignment is the problem cos it doesn't pull left or right when driving straight.

I unscrew the 6 lil bolts on the steering wheel..

Disconnect the plugs for the horn..

Unscrew the big mutha of bolts in the middle..

But the big black metal thing still won't come off..?

all the mods are pretty much just what u see..

no aftermarket turbo.

well spotted.. that IS rust on the driver's side door.

but that has now been repaired and passed Regency after 2nd inspection.

coming from an understeering FWD Turbo Laser to this will be a whole new world...

can ya'll tell me if u come across an Online instruction manual or sumthin for a MOMO Boss Kit?

Hey DC......nice ride dude! Another cefiro to grace the land of Oz.

Just noticed a couple of things......i think u got the same rims as mine...( see pic below ) urs 4 stud? Also as i insepected mine today, i noticed something...being that most cefiros, have had a auto - manual conversion such as mine and urs......there are those 2 buttons on the center console, 1 for the aerial and 2nd for the automatic power selection ie power/normal/snow. You can see them in your interior pic, just to the left of the handbrake.

Obviously this 'power' button is useless, dduuurrrrr, but was wondering if anyone knows where the wiring runs to as the button could come in useful for other applications......boost, fogs, omg NEONS...fully......lol etc.

BTW DC does ur electric aerial button work?? lol mine doesnt ahahaha

anyways......top stuff!!

hrmm.. lookin thru my window at work now.. nup. can't see how many studs the wheels are.

i know they're SSR ones..

only got it last night so haven't looked thru the car thoroughly.

my aerial up/down thing works, but only when u switch the radio on the headunit on/off.

the switch doesn't work.

but some fcker bent the top section of that retractable antenna.. maybe i can bent it back so it fully retracts again..?

in regards to that power selection button, i say... 'Eh??'

i've seen it, haven't chked it out yet..

gonna wash the dirty bitch tonight and look at it closer..

make sure you put the nut back on slightly before you start pulling at the wheel....have seen guys rushed off to hospital due to a steering wheel to the face...

nice car by the way...

      Warning this hidden hose almost destroyed my RB25DET

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yep, replacing all those hoses is kind of just bog standard if you're ever back there. Only hose on the back of the engine I have yet to replace is a vacuum hose for the wastegate. I'll probably do it eventually but it's in such an annoying spot.

      4th gear sychro worn

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      I was actually just planning on replacing the fourth gear parts in the gear box that I broke … like the synchro hub or cone. And any other parts I need once I open up the transmission. That a bad idea? The rest of the gears feel tight. these parts shouldn’t be too much … just the labour here won’t be cheap. Just replacing these in HK would be around 2k aud including labour.    how much is a new r33 or r32 transmission?    thanks for the good info as usual

      I chose a bad time to buy, at the time there was no gtst's for sale in NSW and my options were qld, vic, or sa and not the greatest examples or too far out of my budget. Ended up picking this one from adelaide sight unseen and got a bit stitched up as you could expect but i dont fully regret it, its just a shame people cant be more transparent in this day and age.

      IMO just buy a whole R33 transmission and swap the whole thing. Use a palm nailer/air hammer with a roll pin punch to drive the shifter rod end roll pins out. The rod end is discontinued so don't break it. Use gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket instead of RTV. I personally would not pry on the shifter cover tabs, I broke one trying that instead of just smacking the side with a dead blow rubber mallet to shock it loose from the RTV the last mechanic applied. If you can't get the flanges totally clean and free of any residual RTV and/or you might have a gap that is bigger than it should due to flange damage use RTV on that surface instead of the OEM specced anaerobic sealer. Anaerobic sealer is most likely the right sealant for the job, it's just too easy to mess it up with too large a gap or bad surface prep/roughness seemingly. If you do rebuild what you have it's for a whole gearset that can take high torque. Don't bother with OEM at that point.

      Little hose. Big hose. They're all waiting to kill the engine.
