Tie Rods, Rack Ends & Hicas

[kris_mckenna]

So my R33 failed its pink slip this week and i need to replace my rear rack ends and tie rods and ball joints.My question is this:

given the cost of the HICAS applicable parts is it possible to lock out the HICAS and use non HICAS rack ends?

or

Can i use a HICAS emilinator kit like http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Total-HICAS-Eliminator-Kit-for-Nissan-Silvia-S13-S14-S15-Skyline-R32-R33-R34-/161489904354?

Will having this kit lead me to further issues passing the pink slip

Or do i need to use all the HICAS rack ends?

TIA

Which state? I'm pretty sure in Vic if the car came with 4WS it needs to be retained for roadworthy..

Yuh, HICAS is a steering system and modification of steering systems is not permitted without engineering.

The best HICAS delete is a complete one with non-HICAS subframe. All totally Nissan gear and when asked you can say "nuh, never was HICAS on this car!"
