How To Install Hicas Bypass Kit

[DVS JEZ]

i spoke to just jap today, they said they had a bad batch a while ago, now they think i have a 300zx one instead by accident, i need my car this week end so i cut mine in half, grinded it to make it the correct shape, turned down the brass spacer/washer and welded it back together in the correct spot, gonna test it all out tonight,

i also noticed the lock bar is shorter than the original steering rack and when i tried to get the toe correct by eye i only have 3 threads left, no way im gonna drive it like that, so i pulled it all back apart and have made some 14mm spacers where the inner tie rods screw into the lock bar, this should give me a safe thread engagement now and get the toe correct safely,

just jap are sending me a different bypass on monday so when i recieve it i will let you guys know if it fits

BTW: does the R34 NEO powersteering pump with single outlet work as a replacement (along with bracket)?

If you're talking about putting a Neo pump onto an R32 engine.....no. The hoses are completely different. It's an Enzed/Pirtek job and whatever $$ is costs you to buy the other half of the hoses if you don't have both already. I had to do it to put the Neo into my R32.

More to the point. If you're putting a single stage PS pump in, then you do not need to loop the HICAS lines. Just pull all teh HICAS stuff out and throw it in the bin. That's the rear solenoid, the engine bay solenoids, and some of the pipework. You just keep the stuff that goes from the pump to the rack and reservoir, and find a way to plumb a cooling loop/cooler in place.

yeah thats the idea, not sure if 33/34 Gtst items fit or only 33/34 GTR ones, otherwise I'll put in the bypass kit if it's too hard to source
