mark morris Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 hi every one, I had an incident involving a curb last saturday night, when I had my ambitions mix up with my capabillitys, and decided to go drifting my gtr. :Oops: anyway, I slid the ass end into the curb and took out my rim, lower controle, and hicas steering rod, and was wondering if anyone had an old hicas rack so i could buy a rod off it and im also chasing a rim its a advan racing three spoke 18"x10" to suit 275, 35, 18 tyres, I realise this rim is rare, so even a second hand set of 18x 10 inch rims I would cosider buying rather than buying a tyre/rim set and wasting 2k worth of tyres if ya wondering what the rim looks like have a look at these pics Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/56291-whoops-hit-a-gutter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadiuM Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I found another rim place in Kenwick when I was driving home one day from work, never heard anyone mention it before though. Spoke Wheel Services Unit 6, 34 Davison St Maddington 6109 (08) 9459 2035 Mates sister mashed her 33 with those same rims on them about 6 months or more ago so I know there's 3/4 or 1/2 a set of those rims floating around perth.

Gav Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Might be a good chance to buy a hicas lock kit. These don't normally come with the tie rods, but you can get these fairly easily. Mine were worn and Wilkinson's Suspension had some second hand. There are also quite a few options for rose jointed lower control arms as well. I got mine (altough not fitted yet) from a guy over east who makes his own up. Try posting in the wanted to buy or suspension sections.

Gav Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Mark - you've got an R32, right? If so, this is easy, this just involves dropping out the whole rear rack including valves etc and replacing it with a fixed bar. The tie rods screw into this. The hydraulic hoses are disconnected and the kit comes with bolts that block off the hydraulic hoses. I think that just aout every workshop sells these now. I know that SST, C-Red and Hyperdrive all can help you out with these. Again, there is a guy on the forums here who sells them for a $100 (off memory?).

Gav Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Ok - the R33 is a bit more complicated as it has the Super HICAS - i.e. the electro version (and not the R32 hydraulic). Tomei do an electronic module that fools the HICAS computer into thinking all is OK. This kit only comes with washers/shims that lock the existing bar, however.
