Im looking for responses from you guys that have your cars setup for motorsports, what kit (if any) do you use for hicas delete?

Lockbar with factory tie rod and ball joint? eliminator kit that replaces tie rods? or even total eliminator kit that replaces outer ball joint with a bush?

I have one rubbish tie rod and maybe ball joint that i need to replace, and for near $200 from nissan im exploring other options but i want what is best for the track, i dont care about flashy wank factor and i dont want a cheap inferior lock out kit or cheap ebay tie rod. What will be most reliable and long lasting?

Any advice appreciated

cheers

Best item on the market I reckon is the Tomei Electronic and Manual HiCas lock unit ( easily bought of Ebay ). Word around the traps is Hicas gets confused, if you don't electronically lock it out you may end up with lighter or very heavy steering....not sure if its true or not but uber light steering at 100kph + sounds a bit scary.

Any way its the unit I will be using, Tomei don't usually get it wrong and its very well priced.

using driftwork elimination kit, just make sure to tighten the bracket bolt up good, ditched all the lines leading up to the engine bay, inc solenoid

Is this the kit that eliminates the ball joint? This is the way id like to go. I had concerns of the qaulity of some of them, specially the bush that replaces the joint, are you happy with yours?

    • So, I'm not a diff swapsies specialist, but I am pretty sure the 300zx ran an R220 not and R200 like the C34 Stagea, so I think it is of no use to you. As you said, all you need to do is get the centre swapped in the diff you have, which might be best done by a diff specialist. The current centre is probably desirable to someone to track so an easy path might be to swap your mechanical centre for someone with a standard centre (which is a viscous LSD, and almost certainly won't have any limited left). The only thing you have to watch swapping R200 internals between diffs is that the number of splines on your car's stub axles has to match the donor car, or you need the centre+stub axles and make sure they have the same number and pattern of bolt holes as your rear axles.  You swap your current ratio onto the new centre so you don't have to worry about matching the front. Alternatively, centres like the Nismo pro are much gentler (and have adjustable "tightness") so you could buy on of those from somewhere like Jesse Streeter or Nengun (noting it may cost you 1234% extra in tariffs by the time it lands)
    • Id just remove the solid subframe bushes.  you are over complicating things.  on a side note make sure you do some research on the skyline shed before buying from them. 
    • Just got back from overseas and once again Rego and service time. Supercheap auto cant find my plates on their list to match my car to buy a crush washer lolol. NRMA has my number plate linked to R35 GTR which i have explained once again that it is not a GTR. Its scary in the sense that if somthing happens and my insurance wont cover me if its the wrong car on their list even though they are the ones that have made the mistake. Im not sure NIGHTCRAWLER why the neg comment? Its a 2020 V37 400R Skyline? and asking for someone to post their VIN number is crazy just to prove it? Its a legit Nissan Skyline from japan factory 400R its does use the Q50 infinity chasis but this is the Japan model. 
    • no, you aren't, but good to see you pop by
    • I can also smell fuel in oil if that helps.
