34 lockbar won't fit 32.

Try Japanese Performance Centre in Osborne Park (9201 0400 I think).

P.S. So what did you hit?

P.P.S. Throw a lockbar in there :)

got the lock bar already. damn i regret not fitting it months ago... it got a bit confusing with the whole hydrolic lines bizzo... i was planning on just plugging the 2 lines at the back but i kept reading conflicting diy's on a few forums with having to remove the whole system from the front or looping the lines at the back (also there's no fun in paying someone to do it) so i put it on the back burner.

An unpright curb was the culprit, pulled it back around enough to washed off speed but the rear wheel hit nice and square and came out ok.

I removed most of the suspension and dropped the exh to have a good look at the diff, running gear and main structural areas of the subframe, measured it all up best i could and inspected all the welds and looks fine.

You don't have to remove all the stuff to the front. I didn't when I first put my lockbar in, you just loop the lines back on themselves. When I last had the motor out I took the opportunity to remove the lines to the front along with the big solenoid thingo in the engine bay.

hicas lock bar FTW, ive some problems with my hicas too. .. the light comes on and off now and then and i lose my power steering .. its a real pain .. sob sob .

Can't help there.. 33 systems are different. Things like fitting aftermarket steering wheels can affect hicas (if it's not on straight or you've damaged teh steering angle sensor). In a 32 that would be more speedo cable related but 33's have electronic senders and the HICAS isn't hydraulically controlled.

Anyone have any tips on getting the alignment arms from the hicas off the wheel hub assembly??

i've tried everything i can, different angles, pryed, supported wheel hub at different heights and beat the bajeasus out of it to try and knock it off the damn thing.

the good arm has been removed totally from the hicas and even then i still cant get that one off the ball joint thing...

just with standard hydraulic hose and clamps?

was told recently the pressure was too great and i would need pirtek to make up some high pressure fixings or something to hold the hose on.

I just reused a bit of rubber hose and clamps that were already located somewhere on the power steering circuit, can't remember exactly where.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
