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

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
