Hi-cas Lock Bars?

[ellie]

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

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?!?!

Doesnt one of the guys on here do one for $100 or something?

[AzzurrA]

that'd be GTRGeoff, but as Matt said, he's stopped making them for a while

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.

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.
