I had hicas but put in a S13 non hicas rack. The factory powersteering lines wont mate up so i ripped them all out and got custom ones made. Because I had a hicas pump i took the back off it an ripped out the vanes so the bitch wouldnt pump out the rear stage. I bunged it up too :)

Hella Flush so your sayying that a s14 steering rack goes straight into a cefiro with out any mods :S I find this a little different as i didnt think that s13 an s14 steering racks where the same. Not that im a silvia person unless it has 4doors and drifts it aint worth having. Cant wait for next yrs super drift rds im guna burn the candle for the cefiro crew

as we are on the topic of power steering, i just wanted to know if the powersteering pump from the ca18det engine/s13 would work on the rb20e engine/a31, it looks the same but i just wanted to confirm this, could anyone help

thanks

wait... on my 32 the front rack is completely seperate to the hicas rack, there is no plumbing between them.

on my friends CA silvia there is a connection that is bolted to the rack, but no fluid is mixed here.

i found this out when i locked the hicas on both cars so both definitely had hicas.

hicas cars have a pump that has 2 outlets and then the resevoir has 2 inlets, so the front rack and the hicas rack are completely seperate all the time.

i dont understand how a non hicas rack can be different then, cos i've definitely never seen any connections on the rack for hicas. rack has 2 connection, 1 in, 1 out

are you talking about the connections near the uni joint? where the steering shaft goes in? cos this isnt actually hydraulically connected, its just bolted on there.

just checking, ive never done it on a31 but i assume its the same as s13 as the solenoid setup looks the same from the top

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
