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

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

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
