for sure Dan; you ignore just about any price you'd see on the piece of paper hanging in the window of a car at a car yard.

jeez i remember the price listed in the window of my white 33 (in my avatar) when i bought it from a yard back in the day... we knocked quite a sum of that price off compared to what i paid :)

guys need ya help palease :)

oka so went to go see my car today down at premier paint n panel n its finally coming together..yay..but a lil problem has occured..they have gotten my car to start and god does it sound good to finally here it again lol but now my hicas light is on and the steering is heavy as...ive had the hicas light on before but the steering wasnt affected..all i did was change the power steering fluid and it went away.

the guy said that had to disconnect some hoses around the power steering pump to do some work so im hoping that it just needs a top up of some fluid

would i be right??? or is it something else??

there hoping to have my car finished by this friday....cant wait :)

ur help will be appreciated.thanks

you will prob find that due to the car sitting around for so long, all the fluid has drained from the lines, and dried up.

give it another change, and see how you go :)

good to hear its nearly done...

This might not be the issue, but my Hicas light was on a while back and the steering was really heavy. It turned out to be a loose battery terminal (no bullshit). New terminal and the issue went away.

Check that, but more than likely it won't be that.

But check the power steering fluid and the hose connections.

Last night after work i decided to go to town on my dump pipes with a die grinder. Where the 2 pipes join together i ground out the hole to perfectly match the shape of the smaller pipe, spent about 1 hour on them as they are stainless so had to try and keep the metal cool. It should help to improve exhaust flow a fair bit :wacko:

hmm, how are b pillars stuck on? (The black plastic that is between the front and rear side windows) just glue?

On 33's theres a couple of lugs behind there, just pull the bottom out gently until it unclips (you may need a flathead) then lift it upwards. I've never tried doing it on a 34 so it might be different.

went and had my car remapped at turbo tune today and i gained 34 rwkw out of it

first run pulled 88.1 rwkw with a blocked fuel filter and fooked fuel pump..so replaced both of them and it pulled 111.2 rwkw

then after the remap it pulled 122.2rwkw..

im pretty happy with it considering the only mods are HD clutch, 2.5" full exhaust system with race cat and K&N panel filter

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
