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

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
