If you disconnect the HICAS unit, you will lose the speed sensitive steering.

I would be more inclined to think that there is something wrong with the power steering pump. If not this, then the HICAS unit.

Do you have a mate with a 33 that you could swap units with and take her for a test drive???

All I can think of bro...

I also have a similar problem on my r32. steering will be light from start up, then after a few minutes will be really heavy. i have a lock bar but it's not installed. would this solve the problem? lol sorry to hijack your thread danny

Question have you changed the pump to the single flow for front wheels only and disconnected the hicas computer and remove unecessary lines? the lock bar would not solve the problem as such caz i have pinned mine and havent have this prob. from start up though the steering will feel free because the engine is at a higher rev hence the belt hopefully tensioned properly will spin the pump faster not sure were you stand not knowing your setup. check your lines though for crimps etc. and how often do you top up if any at all?

yeah, see my problem is i don't know anything about HICAS or power steering in general, so i don't really know where to start. i haven't changed the pump to single flow for the front wheels, how would i go about doing this? should this loosen up the steering without disconnecting the hicas computer and unnecessary lines?
