G'day

Do you guys know of anyone who removes HICAS systems south of the river?

I've been wanting to remove the entire HICAS system on my gts-t because its starting to shit itself, but i'm not 100% on the re-routing of the lines. Additionally i'd rather get it done by someone who has done others so its done properly.

The other option is getting the tommei lock kit and leaving the system in.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Alex

Rip the steering rack out and loop the 2 lines together using hose and strong clamps.

Any further removal really needs the engine out otherwise it's a complete bastard (I did the simple rack out, lockbar in, loop lines to start with, then the next time the engine came out I removed the solenoid and all the lines in the engine bay).

can remove the solenoid out of engine bay easy as. Rip the solenoid out, connect the lines that are left, this keeps the PS cooler and effectively cuts out the system.

Remove everything from the solenoid back.

Use a pitman puller toget the ends of its easier than bashing it with a hammer for 20mins.

Easy job.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
