My old ceffy had hicas and i went through alot of trouble with front steering racks. I tried an s13 hicas rack and a s13 normal rack. In both cases the rack bolted up the same but the lines were totally different. In the end i ended up getting my old rack rebuilt

Rip out the hicas, then you can use a non-hicas S13 rack.

Fabricating new lines is easy, pay somebody.

Yep, You could possibly swap the housings over too if you really wanted, might as well chuck a rebuild kit through it at the same time though.

I think I've asked before but the answer was vague, I need a definite working solution for handbrake cables. I have a manual centre console and mounted handbrake in my laurel, I need to know what legs (front section of cables that split to 2 off the handbrake lever) and rear cables to use on my laurel. Has s14 rear hubs. Seeming as finding original ones are rare as rocking horse shit. Dunno why I threw away my old 4 stud hubs when I was cleaning my old place to rent -__-'

ok got another question. I got a a31 rb20e auto but want to get a lsd because i keep on three wheeling and gets pretty annoying. could i use any other LSD diffs from a different car mine one is a 3x2 bolt pattern

are you sure its isn't just a loose r200 (lsd) and not a r180 ( open wheeler).

with my old lsd you could turn the direction of the shafts apart by hand.

skyline and silvia diffs will fit pending abs, backing cover swaps and front diff mount bushes for the s14/r33 and up models

Edited by Dan_J

its defentaly a open wheeler! dont want to do the cheap way and just weld the deiff up. but a good excuse to upgrade the diff to an lsd. its a non abs model. i heard that s13 and r32 diff bolts straight into a cefiro ? pretty sure the r32 can, but not quiet sure about the s13 diffs

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
