Didnt have much luck at my last track day. Showed up, couldnt get my boot closed and when i did get it closed i couldnt get it open. Long story short, I ended up breaking it open. So im after a boot latch mechanism (top and bottom) and a boot/fuel release lever and cable. Would they be the same as an r32 or r31? I think it would be different to s13 because they are a shorter car.

Fuel lid spring is U12 or U13 > Its in the new parts sticky.

The boot is probably interchangeable with a few.

Late model Ceffies use an eletronic release ( the button for release is below the steering collumn, next to the hHICAS lights, rear wiper, etc) so if you can't find anything that fits, find a late model setup.

Did you break the lever and/ the cable? Or was it simply the boot latch?

Nic if you can throw an S13 chassis number into FAST to look for the latch, could you compare it to the cefiro one?

Will do when I find time and enough boredom to justify searching it in FAST.

FAST has a crossover function, put in a part code, assign its part number, then search for alternates and alternate sources....legend little program.

Worst case scenario, any decent alarm fitter should be able to fit an electronic boot release solenoid and then it wont matter that the cable is broken.

Just had it done on my GF's S13 using a generic solenoid in the boot lid, and on my A31 using the factory solenoid.

Only problem is you might have to buy a whole car alarm to go with it if your existing one doesn't support that feature (or you just don't have one)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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
