So I don't know a lot about cars and what things are but i'm installing a FMIC on my R32 GTS-T and there are these discs with a screw in the middle near the latch in front of the radiator. Are these horns for the car? I need to remove them in order to get this on it seems and I just want to know what they are first.

Sorry for the dumb question, like I said my car knowledge isn't a lot.

Wow.

Fair enough you don't know but how hard would it be to find out?

Disconnect and beep horn and see what happens?

The car won't explode.

Don't have to resort to the Internet as first point to solving a problem!

Or alternatively if you really want to Google something, search for what a horn looks like.

You can't just bend them back out of the way, or mount on a 90deg bracket?

If you can't readily identify a car horn; intercooler installation might not be the job for you.

Everyone's gotta start somewhere.

Perhaps, but some assistance from an experienced friend could save a tonne of heartache on this front.

Oh wait, that's what he's trying to do.

Yes they are horns. We only put one back in, and disconnected & removed the other one. We found somewhere nearby to bolt it to - a bit higher up the centre bar than it was before I think, and facing backwards. Just check that it's loud enough, and if not make sure your finger works (horn not working, watch for finger....)

      I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info
