I had to do it for Regency but it was such a flamin mongrel I couldnt be bothered again when I sold the car so just kept the HICAS unit and sold it separately and left the lock bar on haha

Fairly straight forward:

- undo the square nuts on either end of the lock bar

- undo the two bolts for the lock bar

- remove lock bar

- do the reverse but with the HICAS unit and the wirings should be zip tied around there

mitch it isnt thattttt bad its just the bolts are a fairly tight... i did mine on the 260 a few times... get some of those multi grip plyer thingos n ull get em out...

i found it MUCH MUCH easyer to crack the 2 square bolts then undo the lockback/unit that way its dangeling down so your not pushing against the wheel and giving it toe if i get me...??

ive done easyer shit in my life but ull b able to do it

Get your HICAS lockbar engineered for around $120 :\... Why dont you just do that?

All an engineer is to do is come down, make sure its of quality it is safe, and he marks it off. Nothing else needs to be done. So if you have a high quality lock bar just leave it?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
