ok got a HICAS lock bar, whats involved with fitting it i've had a look, and it looks like i need to plug up the fluid running to original bar, once old is taken out and new one is fitted.

if this is what i have to do, how have people previously done this? OR let me know how u fitted yours.

cheers.

hmm from memory, the power steering lines running to the HICAS unit need to be either blocked up with lugs/nuts or a U shapped pipe connecting them back into each either can be done with hose or made up metal piping, just make sure it doesn't leak. Better off blocking it up at the start of the lines under the engine bay. ah well that was probally a crap description. i'll take some photos of how mine was done if i get time.

Also you'll probally get a alot better description by PMing skylinegeoff for instructions as he sells them normally with a typed up sheet of instructions.

I justed looked on my cefiro and it has two very large locking nuts(obviously with washers in them) on the end of the lines. the rest up past the diff has been disconnected and taken off and the line is zip tied to a mount under the car.

I just got this car from japan, but from looking at it there is a spot close to the engine were the whole line can be disconnected

you would just have to find a bolt that fits to plug up the line

will take photos soon

    • If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok. 
    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
