Spotted me getting my car back from Inline yesterday.....oh god does it feel so good to drive now! Actually responsive, very little body roll, and still acceptable ride height.

Only downside of this is, now I have to troubleshoot my steering being heavier most of the time. Anyone got any ideas what part of HICAS removal can cause this? assuming no sensors or anything are actually BROKEN.

Also, now that HICAS is gone, anyone know what happens if I pull the fuse for the unit? I think I read that I will lose ALL power steering if I do that :)

my steering went heavy when i unplugged the HICAS computer but that's in a 32, 33s have a different system so i don't know, maybe look for a HICAS computer? 32s have them in the boot near the rear speakers, so maybe start there?

    • Thanks for advice chaps   so you would change idler and tensioner bolt as well ? I guess because you thinking they have stretched once ?   i have done some research and on nissan belt and seem to hold 700hp but thinking HKS to be on safe side   i think I put nissan there last time   also thinking of changing cam cover to glass style:)
    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.
