Hicas Removal - How Much?

[__PhaseShiftDown]

Anyone know a good workshop in sydney that can do hicas removal and a rough price range.

I want the complete system removed and done properly.

[Primordial]

Shouldnt be more than $50-$80. It's only a 30 minute job max for a decent mechanic.

... actually it depends what sort of car?

[FATAZZ]

Don't know the price,but i got mine removed from Wholesale Suspension in Blacktown.

Edit: yeh i used the lockbar.

hey mate how much did it cost you to do it there. My mate needs his done and its just up the road

[FATAZZ]

not sure,cause it was done along with a bunch of other things almost 1yr ago probly.

i supplied the lockbar from NV N01 off this forum.

works a treat.

[Beer Baron]

depends on what car. to do it completely on a 32 is a fair bit of work.

ive seen a lock bar acompanied with some ecu by pass thing for a higher price..... but i guess it also stops it electronically

i found a link for you and i'm thinking of getting it aswell in the near future if it makes drifting easier.....

i think its only the r33's that may need that ecu bypass thing.

Just the lockbar was used in mine,removal of all the hard lines,then re-rout the oil feed for the hicas back into

the reservior. I believe thats how its done.

Car is a 32GTR...

I want everything removed....and with lines rerouted...etc :-) Mainly just wanted to remove the excess weight.

Anyone can recommand a good workshop? I Assume CRD can do it?

if u like i have a GRID SUPER HICAS LOCKOUT ecu to suit r32 gtr just wire it in and at the push of a button the hicas is turned off

asking 200 bucks for it its brand new in the box and it has the wiring diagram easy to install these are rare as now GRID have not made any more for years

CRD did mine on my 32 Gtst, I supplied the lock bar and they charged me something like $220 I think it was, not cheap.

[__PhaseShiftDown]

$220..?.. That dosen't sound too bad.

How long did it took?

Not sure how long it took as the car was their for a few days getting turbo upgrade etc but it definately made driving so much better without unpredictable hicas.

I heard its around 30kg!! Around 2-3% off the weight of the entire car.

was that for removing all solinoids, and lines? if so thats heaps cheaper then what ive been quoted at other places.

[JimmyRickard]

Hey guys where can you pick up cheap lock bars from (other than Ebay)

I seem to recall someone from these forums selling them, but search doesn't yield any results
