In a GTT its one of the easiest jobs you can do....

Buy a decent lock bar, remove the shi77y hicas by unplugging it all and taking the tie rod ends out of the hicas, then unbolt it and throw it at ya neighbours cat as that's all they are good for :rofl2:

Just make sure when you bolt it all back up you get it wheel aligned as mine moved from the factory position, also make sure you plug the wiring for the ABS again and cable tie it all back up... Pop the globe out from behind the dash cluster otherwise it will shit you!!!

Thanks a lot for the info mate, really keen on getting rid of it...its caused me nothing but annoyance

Especially when my car decides to lose traction at high speeds and the hicas makes it difficult to correct from oversteering the back more than needed, its honestly unsafe from my point of view

Sounds all easy enough to deal with so as soon as my new turbos fitted and the cars back in running order ill get straight onto it...ill be sure to give the neighbors cat a scare too biggrin.gif

Thanks again,

Brock

Just be aware of the potential engineering/insurance implications; From what I understand it's seen as removing a 'safety device' and needs to be engineered. Quite a few in Adelaide have been caught out on this one.

It should be relatively cheap/easy to get this modification engineered if required. The risk is up to you (and probably depends on where you live).

In most situations where HICAS is acting up, it tends to be because something is worn (HICAS racks are kwown to get 'slop' in them), incorrectly aligned (steering wheel angle sensor) or not operating correctly (dead caps in the HICAS ECU).

Fun and games ... I got an NZ warrant failure on the R34 HICAS tie rod ball joints(outer) being stuffed, the only source for those is Nissan agent ( the people in robbery masks). The parts have a curve in them to maintain a straight line along the tie rod to the wheel stump that fits the tie rod

To hard fix the rear wheels it would be an idea to have wheel alignment adjustment in the lock bar arrangement ?

Any chance of a photo of the mod :rolleyes:

I wonder if the failure was helped by the 200 metre country gravel driveway that is down to the bumpy scalps base, its like cobbles.

      Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
