[R33 Hicas Refresh]

The hydraulic part of the R/Z32 era HICAS is not the bad part. It's the brains of the operation that is the problem. Just not clever enough to do what it is supposed to do without trying to throw you off the road when you're driving above 7/10ths. And of course, the additional unnecessary wear points in the rear end.

So from what I have been reading it seems like if you eliminate the HICAS through either a block plate or other means it causes the steering to become heavy, somewhere between no power steering.  Has this been resolved outside of swapping in a different steering rack?

Well crap, I figured Id get that answer and I had thought for the electronic HICAS people would keep it.  I have a Z32 that I have removed it completely from.  Ill need to give it some more thought but you guys have set me on the right track.

Ive got a 95 GTR and when the car squats I feel the car kick out in the rear.  Its not tires getting loose but rather a toe issue.  The car might just need to be aligned but when jacking the car up and shaking the wheel there is a very slight perceptible movement.  I am going to replace the rear tie rods but trying to figure out what I need to replace. 

Do I need to do just the ball joints or should I also do the outer and inner tie rods?
