How To Install Hicas Bypass Kit

[DAS KAMU]

as above what the hell do you do????????????

[DAS KAMU]

heres how it looks

the chaps at just jap couldn't tell me how it goes in

any information would be welcome

[GTS4WD]

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?

[DAS KAMU]

even just jap dont know and no one seems to have used this

[DAS KAMU]

just called jjr again

helpfull chap asked there mechanic and advised him that once i put the lock bar on ill be able to work out what to do?

i hope so lol

[DAS KAMU]

prob going to just remove the whole systemnow

there seems to be an issue as to where the f**ker goes lol

ive just been under the car and i cant see anywhere where it would go?

only got this thing to try and minimize down time

i fail

[DAS KAMU]

'just looked on a 300zx site and there is an identical part in the "instructions"

this part actually goes up where the front solenoid is after you remove it????????

thanks for the helpfull advice

at least know wtf you are selling! and where the f**k it goes

end rant

[DAS KAMU]

is the zx tt front solenoid a very close match for the gtr?

as per this series of pics install pics in here z32tt

can anyone shed some light on here so i can go do this before blowing something up lol

[GTS4WD]

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,

Cris

[DAS KAMU]

i installed that part

it goes just before the rear diff in front of the rhr drive shaft

after a solenoid thing pics to come soonish

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.

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 haven't actually drivin it yet. Still building it. Gotta be a good thing but cause it elimimates a variable is how i look at it.

Alls i did was buy a hicas lock bar from Just jap and made this little bush and chucked the rest in the bin.

[DVS JEZ]

so did anyine find out where this jjr bypass actually go. i just got one, i have installed the lock bar and tried to fit the bypass to the rear solenoid but it definatley doesnt go there, i havent checked the fron solenoid or power steer pump yet, i ran out of daylight

[bubba]

I was under the impression is goes on the back of the power steering pump, and bridges the OUTLET to HICAS solenoid to the RETURN from HICAS solenoid..

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.
