Yeah i think i will probably remove the HICAS one day but i havent had heaps of driving in it since i bought it about 4 years ago. 7,000km's to be exact. Rest of the time i have been playing around with it. Sounds silly i know but i can never seem to just leave things be. So anyway my point is i want to experience HICAS properly for myself in all conditions before i decide to remove it. Not just because everyone else is telling me to. Even though im sure they are probably right :D

Yes Nissan deffinetly know me well both in melbourne and brisbane now. I need to replace my power steerings hoses in the engine bay but for 5 of them from nissan its 270 bucks! Anyone know of an aftermarket alternative? I was going to try some straight hose for a few of them and see how it sits.

Yeah i found the low pressure hose not even a foot long, from the resiviour to the pump was 110 bux just on its own ! I plan on taking that hose to an auto parts outlet and trying to find something of a similar shape...an r31 or vl perhaps. Recently, I replaced all the turbo coolant pipes, starting from behind the cylinder head, now THAT was expensive :thumbsup:

Yeah im going to just use straight hose to make up the majority of hoses. One or two i might have to buy but that'll be good saving. I can imagine the coolant hoses wouldnt be cheap. My bonnet brand new cost me 1000 dollars, they normally go for 1100 but because i had already spent about 5 grand at nissan they gave me a discount lol.

Leave the hicas in man, leave it 100% original, just restore it to its original beauty and leave it, and I guarantee you in 20 years time that car will net you a pretty sum man. I know your attention to detail having been to your house and purchased parts from you and following this cars build, not too often do you see someone go to the efforts you have :blink: massive props, you know I love your car.

      Thanks heaps Duncan and GTSBoy. I'll get my old man to sit in the driver's seat and turn it on and off while I test with the meter. Or maybe other way round, depending on whether he remembers where his glasses got to

      This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.
