If they are Akebono calipers (integral cam handbrake), I have new pads and caliper kits available. You will be pushing iut uphill in OZ as the Holden Piazza had different caliper and pads to early JR130 models

Rack mount bushes are Suiperpro part number SPF1655K. I have posted this info several times before. But they will not fit HBL rack as they have a different RH side bush. In that case source OEM from IPTOC

Just an additional note on the drain hose from the breather/separator down through the manifold to the pipe on the right side of the sump, it should incorporate a small non return valve to prevent back pressure from the sump up to the breather.

That's a bit odd, maybe its the Aussie ambient conditions, I have taken lamps out of 83 -86 models in the past and the gasket is still flexible and intact, the gasket to body sealant is a pig to clean off it though. It is a closed cell urethane type gasket as far as I can tell.

Yep take the frames off they are held by the nuts against the inside frame of the body so the lamp can't come out until you take them off. With the frames off push firmly on the lamp body on the end nearest the boot lock and it will start to come away.

It isn't just sealer, they have a rubber gasket between the lamp and the body. They put sealant on the gasket to body side but not on the lamp to gasket side so you should be able to push the lamp assembly out (once you have removed the 7 nuts and metal frame of course. Once the lamp is out you can ...

On JDM Turbo Piazzas there is a switch on the top right of the box close to the bell housing. Stock boxes have a plug instead. The purpose of the switch is to activate a solenoid when first gear is engaged. This solenoid is on the back of the slave cylinder and when you select first gear the pin in ...

Got a couple of right hand ones, one better than the other but both perfectly useable, I still have those other parts put aside for you if you still want them.

SPF1655K doesn't fit lotus versions and neither are they drilled for the P/S breather pipes. They do fit JR130 and JR120 pre lotus. The superpro diagrams are pretty generic so not much help for actual bushings or sizes.

If you get stuck I have a spare known to be good Dizzy but it needs to be compared to make sure it is exactly the same, Our cars and the JDM versions may not be the exact same as the Impulse. If you wanted to make your car original I have all the EFI gear to put your car back to the way it should be...

yes No. 2 is another fuel pulse damper, it is in the line between the rail and the regulator. Fuel pressure is a little high, it shoulkd be around 35psi with vacuum pulled on the regulator hose and 42 without. This isn't likely to flood the engine. Running and wanting to stop isn't ignition timing a...

The only time I have come across this EXACT behaviour is with the IAC circuit, not the valve itself. There is a large black hose that runs from the throttle body down through the manifold runners to the IAC, from under the IAC there is another hose that runs in a loop back up to a pipe on the bottom...

Yes you are correct, the rotor should be about to hit No. 4 but if the procedure is to set it exact by the marks why wouldn't you do that. Then you know you are close enough for final timing. The mark you indicate is not on the shaft, it is on the housing. here is a picture of the alignment mark on ...
