I have the same thing.

Now as far as my understanding goes (and dont quote me on this, im sure someone can shed some more light on it) but it loops the powersteering system to trick the car into thinking its complete as you bypass the hicas system.

Is this true?

I had a quick look the other day (I still have to get a lock bar so im in no rush) I think it loops the system right near the powersteering canister.

Or am I completely wrong?

YES!

Thats what I was trying to explain without very good results.

If you end up stripping the entire system could you write up a lift of what was removed from where?

And rough weight?

Cheers mate,

Mate i did away with the whole lot right back to the power steering pump. Everything got turfed. lines solonoids actuators, the lot. I even pulled the power steering pump out and pulled it apart and took the hicas impeller out. Actually playing around with an old one atm to ditch the whole rear section of the pump, machine the shaft and match the rear cover. All i've done for the moment is i've machined a bush to replace the banjo fitting on the pump to stop the oil from coming out. It's dimentions are 26mm OD 16.5 ID and 16mm tall. Probably cost 30 buck from a machine shop. :P

theres a long thread on hicas removal. sydneykid uploaded a lot of images & instructions. your fitting is maybe a replacement where he loops a hose

evocoop: howd the low speed handling change on your car with the hicas removed?? thinking bout doin the same, vept the pump part

I have just recently been through this. Installed the lock bar and removed lines back to the fail safe solenoid which is on drivers side in front of rear wheel.

Found that the JJR bypass would not fit at this point so looked at all other lines and fittings. Would not go anywhere else so removed the fail safe solenoid and took it to JJ.

Sure enough the problem was they had a batch manufactured that are inncorrect. They gave me another one and I test fitted it on the spot. Worked a treat.

I had the same problem a few months ago. I couldn't get it to fit, assumed that I wasn't installing it in the correct spot so I sold it. Now looks like I had it in the correct spot but the part was manufactured incorrectly.

I should write them a letter to get a refund or replacement. Most likely I will just end up buying another one.

I was scratching my head for ages thinking what are the chances that it almost fits in that spot but belongs somewhere else on the car.

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      Isn't there a fitting on the back of the balance tube? That's what the OEM boost gauge uses.

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
