bubba Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Unfortunately it won't go into a default mode where it locks the wheels, they'll just flap about. Get yourself a lockbar, they're cheap and easy to install Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/216684-unplug-hicas/#findComment-3827220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_brian Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 +1 for Locker. Just unplugging the Hicas means it wont hold pressure, therefore wont lock the hicas, therefore rear wheels will randomly wobble and turn. This is a BIG problem. Hicas locker kits are about $135 from Just Jap and other places, they take an hour or so to install, and they permiantly LOCK the wheels to stay straight. Definately worth the purchase. B.

bubba Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I got a lockbar for $85, install started with just removing rack, installing lockbar and looping fluid lines at the back of the car. Last time I had my motor out I took the opportunity to rip all the lines out to the front including the big clunky solenoid thing and looped them at the resevoir Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/216684-unplug-hicas/#findComment-3827457 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(OO)SKYLINE(OO) Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 How about removing the fuse? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/216684-unplug-hicas/#findComment-3831239 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Removing the fuse is just like unplugging it.. My lockbar didn't come with instructions but it's pretty damn simple.. remove tierods and fluid lines from rack.. remove rack.. install lockbar.. reattach tierods.. loop fluid lines.. get a wheel alignment.

fletch rb30 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I removed the rack ends, drilled out some big galv washers so they fitted over the rack, screwed the rack ends back in so the rack could not move then removed all the lines and valves and fitted a r33 power steering pump. biggest cost was the pump, about $50 the rack is not as light as a lock bar, but it was free Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/216684-unplug-hicas/#findComment-3833778 Share on other sites More sharing options...
