ey lads just wondering if i can round up a few names for custom cefiro billet steel boss kits,

at the moment, only HICAS systems are availiable, however a lot of cefiros were born with HICAS, if interest increases, i can organise a non hicas model aswell.

These items are being custom made, for cefiros, not s13s. not skylines, not anything, just cefiros,

meaning they will sit perfectly flush against your steering column, and will be super high grade alloy material, in other words, they will look the balls...

a proper quote will be organized once i have a roundabout number of people interested, but be prepared to pay around the 100 - 120 mark,

it's more expensive than the plastic HKB boss kit i know, butt the HKB is non hicas, and you will lose the function of auto cancelling indicators,

once again, these boss kits will be the balls, so feel free to ask any questions etc you may have regarding making this group buy a possibilty, get it? possi-BILLET-y? HAHAHA god i need to get a life

cheers guys

will get one probably tonight or tommrow, but they are alloy boss kits, no bumps no lines, just smooth as steel shiny bosskits specially made for ceffies with hicas (possibly no hicas)

have you got a momo wheel? a31rb25

at the moment i've got a wheel that's the same hole pattern as a mom, but am gonna get a quick release hub and Nardi wheel.

any idea on overall length - wanna make sure i can still reach the indicator with a quick release kit

the length will probably be posted up as soon as i get mine built, aaaand seeing as mine will be done on wednesday, i may as well wait until then to take pictures rather than get pics of my brother's 180,

if multifit is easy to do, then i will organize a multi fit but at the moment, due to the popularity of nardi patterns, it might end up being a nardi only... but as i say, it can sway either way as it's early days...

hope you're all having as good of a weekend as me!

whats different about these that make em compatible with hicas ....i bought one at auto one a while back .....and i tried out a few ..r32, s13 etc ...and none would fit untill i got this european made one ...and it fit the spline fine and ..indicators work etc .....

cetain bolt holes are placed in different places to the non hicas version, same as s13 non hicas boss kit will not fit a hicas s13,

they fit, but a few of the guys on d1nz forums claim you can lose your indicators auto cancel function, and the horn doesn't work...

plus this is billet steel. it looks cooler!

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
