Removing Weight From R32 Gtr

[Angus Smart]

I'm about to remove all the hicas shit from the car today.

i did a search but couldn't find much about re routing the lines as i figure some will stay

i figure i remove the lines with the X's and join the links with the O's

correct?

cheers

HICAS solenoid's, valve and rear rack removal is a hugely common process - search harder.

Essentially your feeding the rear stage of the PS pump through he stock fined fluid cooler, then back to the reservoir.

As the rear stage is now pushing against no resistance, simple hose clamps can be employed.

Oh and wrong section.

I removed all the lines, removed the vanes n the back half of the pump, plugged the pump and one of the returns on the resevoir.

so that photo is correct ?

and i can remove the whole thing?

and my internet is capped so searching was not going very well.

Just to resurrect a well old post, if I remove the front and rear solenoids form the HICAS system do I need to modify the loom to not screw up the power steering? I am more than happy with the routing of the front hoses, just curious about the electronic side of it all.

I just unplugged the loom from the rear pump etc, works fine...

what about the front solenoid, did removal of that cause any problems?
