it is not essential... do a CRADLE SWAP!!!!! then the ball joints wont f**k out in the rear toe arms once you have fitted the lock bar...

or if you cbf'd then YES...

interesting, havent too much idea what your talking about though lol. swap for a cradle out of which type of car? whats involved?

cheers dude

i heard of people in 33 just unplugging the harness on the hicas motor unit?

would this work?

i yet to try this?

and the only problem would be that u get the hicas light on the dash, being on..

is this so?

so why sell lock bar for r33's then?wen people could just simple unplug????

I'd just get the lock bar. I was going to try just unplugging it but for the price of a bar you may as well get one.. I've got my boost gauge infront of the light so I never see the thing although It is on. and It help'd me with my drifting. the car just feels easy to link.

If you like your rear alignment changing as you drive i guess its fine to just unplug it :)

You can not just simply unplug them. Do not do this. You will need to replace the bar with a hicas lock out bar, change cradle or get a tomei hicas lock kit (which is just washers to stop the hicas working) as said above.

So unplugging ur r33 hicas motor will cause ur rear alignment to move and be all over the place!!! wen driving!!!

Im from NZ, I asked the same question here in our forum group, and this is what I was recommended with and went out to buy it.

I have a lock bar in my garage but not in my car.

It gets slid on track 2+ times a month and to tell you the truth i havnt noticed it once, can still go lock to lock with pretty big angle without noticing anything..

But i havnt slid with a lock bar either so i wouldnt know the differance.

    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
