hicas lock bar

[always_me]

hey people i have a hicas lock bar, what i need to know is what do i have to do to install it, i know the hicas pump has 2 lines coming out of it, do i block those to off, or do i feed them into eachother, if anyone could help would be much appreciated

Depends on if you have a 32 or 33???? If its a 33 then its all electronic which makes it easy but if its a 32 then you will have to block some stuff off. Sorry I cant help you on the 32 side of things...

On an R32 you reroute the rear power steering supply (the one that goes to the solenoids on the front RHS inner guard) via the power steering cooler back into the power steering fluid reservoir. You can remove the two solenoids at the front and the one at the rear, plus the supply and return pipework. All up saving of ~20 kgs including the rear rack.

i dont want to remove the lines just incase want to put it back

was thinking to feed the lines into eachother

The HKS thingo is best for the non weight saving "i might put it back route...

Comes with piggy back thing for HICAS 'puter to stop all the false dash lights

Good Luck

Sometimes my car would start pulling to the side once i hit 65 - 70 and the HICAS kicks in. It feels like drifting but without the wheel spin. The steering wheel has to be turned up to 2 o'clock to get the car to go straight. Once i slow down bellow 60 it fixes itself up.

Also, after about 10km the HICAS light would come on and then i guess the HICAS comp would shut itself off and the steering would straighten out.

Now I've just unplugged the computer in my R32. The dash light doesn't come up now and it drives straight.

or, u can just take out the hicas light bulb on the dash...

don't the hicas lock kits come with a bar and a couple of metal washers you have to put somewhere on the steering rack? I always thought it wasn't as simple as unplugging a few things.

why would you want to put it back?

ive removed all of the hicas piping and soldenoids, i opened up the powersteering pump and removed the rotor that pumps the fluid for the hicus. then i just put a bolt in the place where the pipiing goes. as mesnioned above, it saves weight and also heaps of space in the engine bay.

it doesnt really make a differnce to performance does it, i just want to lock my tyres up at the bak thats it, not interested in the 20k reduction.

[Bl4cK32]

Does it still flow the power steeing fluid to this cooler as SK mentioned above PHATR32, if doing it your way?

[PHATR32]

that cooler is for the hicas, but i suppose you can make the ps fluid go though it. the rotor i removed is only for the hicas, and wont affect the power steering.

PHATR32 the pump in the diagram, is that for rb26dett, and the rb20det pump out of the r32?

I assume (looking at the diagram) that the only differences between the GTR model pump and the rb20 pump is the suction pipe?

Could you tell me what manual the diagram came out of? (Ive got the r32 engine manual, but not here on my gf's comp) could you send me the pages that tell you how to pull it apart, and rebuild it?

Cheers.
