From what I've seen, it's damn near impossible to find a 33 GTST power FC, let alone a working one for even close to $1000 Hell, if you can find me one for $1000 with hand controller, that has NOTHING wrong with it, I'll buy it now.

haha, was kidding Stao, but yes I can't wait.

Stao, do you have any prospective $$$ figure for this turbo? Makes me wanna call off my USA trip next month to have the money sooner!

Just advertised on fagbook for ya mate, hopefully I get some interest

wow the paint is very nice in that photo, good luck

Cat....Kat.....ARGH THIS IS ALL TOO MUCH FOR ME!!!!

Think I came across this dude on Hindmarsh in weston....assuming the thing really didn't look that amazing, being that the paint was pretty meh etc. If it's the same one, it was surely much more powerful than mine, but something tells me it was definitely not 300rwkw...unless he just didn't give it *that much*

I'd also recommend the ISC one, cheaper and does the job. Just recently purchased one and had it fitted with a multitiude of other things (like ISC coilovers) and all went well, bar something.... The steering issues I'm experiencing are NOT caused directly by the lock bar itself so in no way reflect the hardware. My power steering gets noticably heavier shortly after starting the car (requires driving it though, usually after about 400-500m down the road). The power steering is still functioning as you can stop the car and turn the wheel when stationary, but it's as though it though the car had reached a certain speed, say like when you're on the highway, and dumbs down power steering response (lots of cars do that these days, but I have NO IDEA if the R33 does). The one time I've taken not of speed when it got heavy, I was travelling just a tad over 40kph. It does not go back to normal until you turn the car off then back on again. This could be cause by many things, for example my steering rack was dropped for new rack mounts etc at the same time, so it could be that something isn't plugged in correctly there. It could be the ECU going into "oh shit" mode since as far as it knows the HICAS has all but destroyed itself due to sensors not responding with working signals etc... Either way, even when the steering is heavier, the car handles much better than before. I am 99% sure that there is no damage being caused to the power steering as a result of this anomoly, and therefore don't have too much concern with having it sorted out. If anything, I like having more feedback through the steering wheel when cornering...lets me know what's going on re: understeer etc.

Another male reporting in female intro thread! Oh hai lady G

find another car imo mate, isn't right...

Donnan - if he changed the rear diff ratio, and not the front, goodbye transfer case? lol

would be offset

define full boost, psi? supporting mods?

wat

Yeah, I'm just gonna pull the fuse and see what happens. Apparently that will result in complete loss of power steering, but we'll see.

Anyone else?

very nice 4by you picked up there Mick

Speedo works fine still, steering wheel is aftermarket but haven't had this problem in the 12 months I've owned the car (just over 20,000kms) Unless it's just a bad coincidence that something has failed at the same time as having this work done, it has to be something that was done that is causing this. To be blunt, I honestly don't mind if it stays this way. As long as it is NOT causing any harm (which I doubt, unless it fks up the pump or something)

Spotted me getting my car back from Inline yesterday.....oh god does it feel so good to drive now! Actually responsive, very little body roll, and still acceptable ride height. Only downside of this is, now I have to troubleshoot my steering being heavier most of the time. Anyone got any ideas what part of HICAS removal can cause this? assuming no sensors or anything are actually BROKEN. Also, now that HICAS is gone, anyone know what happens if I pull the fuse for the unit? I think I read that I will lose ALL power steering if I do that

Bumping ancient thread. I had a large amount of suspension/steering work done on my SERIES ONE R33 GTS-T, which including fitting of ISC coilovers, front+rear uppear camber arms, rear traction arm, multitude of bushes, steering rack mounts, but most of all a HICAS lock bar. When I start my car now and start driving, the steering feels normal (obviously better), but after about 500m, the steering gets noticably heavier. Same as described by others - not complete loss of power steering, but as if it is giving you half the assistance it should be. On the assumption that something hasn't given out on me and died at the same time I had this work done, what could be causing this as a result of the HICAS being broken as far as the car is concerned?

Pics of someone humping the door or it didn't happen. Just sayin'

Probably was, did he have a fully sick wogcut? haha

you would be correct sir! I get it back today around lunchtime

ECU? kms?

School holidays imo
