Like most on these forums, I've been plagued with the desease known as Hi-cas since the day I bought it!

To my dismay, I seem to have left my run a bit late as GTRgoeff has discontinued his production of Hi-cas lock bars until he gets up here or maybe indefinitely! i've approached several performance garages and online shops for the lockbar all advertised for $170-180 delivered if necessary but no one actually has stock and there supplier (the local fabricator) is stuffing them around! All others I've seen have been dodgey backyard mock ups.

I'm getting the same story and it feels like ground hogs day!

So. . . Does anyone know where I can get hold of a "quality" lockbar for my R32 ??????

Cheers in advance :thumbsup:

matt, PM me... i can put you onto the guy that made mine if you want?

i had a custom one made for me by the place i use for my suspension... it cost a little bit more than the $180 delivered ones that you see around... however, that is for a reason...

i had one of those $180 delivered ones... it snapped within about 3 months of it being installed (brand new)

i have it sitting here still, can get pictures of it if you want to see the build quality of them...

they are absolute pieces of crap! i cannot see how they are legally allowed to sell such a low quality component, especially for something as important as a steering rack replacement?!?!

I have just been through this, tried gtrgoeff and a few other places, I end up getting one through http://www.uniqueautosports.com/ they said they had them in stock. With any luck it will turn up this week.

cheers

I got the Tomei one through Nugen, it has an electronic hicas block and discs that lock the rack in place. I went this way because of negative feedback about the replacement option. On the 33's the computer doesnt like this lock bar and can effect the power steering.

Anyone have an english translation of the Tomei Hicas lock II? I have scanned them if anyone can translate. :nyaanyaa:

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
