Hello everyone..

Im a r32 owner and currently have my motor out, with the helping hand of a few chippies.. i somehow ended up with my hicas solenoid cut off with a grinder!... anyways question is now that its wrecked can i do the hicas front removal!?

so far ive had to bum the 2 lines from the rear end into eachother to stop oil leaking out all over the shop, and the solenoid from the front i no longer own :P

Its a stock r32 steering rack, and i have a r34 gtt powersteering pump

am i able to get a simple easy to ready drawing ( preferably done on paint that points out what lines go where! as after reading the thread on hicas removal, it is easy to understand(if i had all the parts still there) but now im missing gear. :( a simple diagram will go very very far... And im sure im not the only one who is or has possibly thought of the idea!

anyways any help would be awsome..

sorry if this is the wrong thread!! :D

tthats the point that im at now, i just want to work out with 2 lines to join and which lines i need to purchase!

you dont NEED to purchase anything except for the lock bar for the steering rack at the rear axle, the hicas lines can be taken off the car along with the other associated hardware, use a non hicas power steering pump and your done (hicas steering pump has feed for hicas)

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
