No that's cool. It's no threat to me as I only started doing them for some mates, then to fill a gap due to the cost and availability, then to satisfy some people who wanted chromoly..... so you see how it generates it's own momentum.

To set up each buy costs a couple of grand in material and chasing machining then time welding, cleaning and painting and finally posting, so I don't make much for an initial large outlay that hammers my credit card. Mind you though it would not be fair to get a huge number of people to pay up front then wait a month while I caught up on the orders. I prefer to see actual businesses sellling, but at a decent price for the volumes they can move.

I'm just busy as hell right now logging dives to start SCUBA instructing, prepping a house for sale then moving to Brisbane so feel free to go to Greenline guys. If interest is still there I'll crank up another lot but sounds like the market has come to us for a decent price.

Sorry Geoff but I could not wait. For those that dont want to use the Tomie solution and prefer the bar, I got an Endless one of greenline which cost $150 to my door...

Geoff, not trying to kill your business mate.

Just checked the Greenline website..

12,000 yen or so /85 = $140 or so in Japan.. is that delivered to my door for $150.. if so that wickedly cheap!

I'll think about it when my car arrives.. I still have to bid on one.. As i was out bid on the last auctions. My heart is now set on a 33 so i guess i'll be buying one of these when it comes in.

Anyone keen for a Greenline Tomei Kit, Locking Both Electronically and Mechanically..

Also does this solution rid the HICAS light on the dash?

yes the Tomie solution does fix the dash light prob. One advantage to the bar solution is that it is crommoly and saves weight.

Hi, how you going. Just picked up my R33 last week and am looking for the lock off kit that you purchased. What is the website to buy the Tomei kit for the HICAS? Do you also know where I can get the Subframe bushes for the rear? Thanks.

tomei hicas lock is on www.nengun.com

and have a looky in the group buy section on this site for rear subframe bushes hope your not too late for the r33 GB shouldnt be!

GL

lol or click the link in my sig.

I might be strange but i actually like the feeling when cornering with HICAS it makes me concentrate even harder and it feels like I am sliding around corners. I am going to leave it on until it dies (which prolly wont be long due to its unreliability)

I reckon you wont like the feeling if you actually go into a real slide, Hicas tends to kick you back the other way before you can blink an eye

Boy meets gutter style!

:laugh:

Hi. work computer wont let me access the GB for bushes so will wait till I get home. What is the website for the Endless kit from Greenline? Thanks.

driving my new R32 gts-4 home today.. was on the highway at 100 on a flat, striaght stretch of road, when all of a sudden the car kicked out sideways for a second.. would have felt the same as grabbing the wheel and steering it quickly in one dirrection, then bakc to straight, however i was just driving in a straight line, and wasnt steering when this occured....

is this the hicas f**king up

mind you the hicas light is pretty much ALLWAYS on

I was under the impression that when the light was on it was experiencing issues, but might not be completely disabled. I am no expert but I cant think of anything else it could be if it has not happened again.

my hicas has absolutely shit itself to the point where the back of the car doesn't ever point straight, and sort of changes angle when you go around a corner depending on which way you turn, but you're always fighting the sterring wheel to go straight.

my rear tyres are also bald and i think it's because of the hicas, does that sound about right?

i just dont want to replace the expensive tyres if I haven't fixed the problem yet

How long since you have had a 4 wheel alignment? And how low is the car? Might be worth checking and while they are there they can check the hicas for any freeplay...possibly some play in the rack in tierod ends.

Hicas made me crash into the side of the cliff at Lithgow in Dec. Went around corner uphill tail came out a bit and the car went into oversteer. Put in opposite lock and almost got it back, when suddenly the back kicked out further dure to the rear steer doing it's thing. Game over for me, car did a 180 spin across three lanes up the hill and slammed into the 30cm high concrete curb. Bent lower links, snapped front hub, smashed front wheel and egg shaped back wheel, crached front bar and lip, s shaped cusco caster rod and very empty pockets afterwards.

Managed to fix it all up, Just Jap and Unique Autosports were able to supply parts so it all went back together okay.

Just went about getting rid of rear steering system on my 32 GTR.

Got rid of the hydraulic plumbing and solenoid valve right up to where the clutch is.

I put a 40watt 16ohm dummy load on the solenoid connector so there is no hicas fault light.

Got a return pipe made up to plumb ack the power steering fluid back to the reservior. This has threaded fittings so you just bolt it in after taking out the 2 2 metre long hyd pipes that go to the back of the car.

If anyone wants pics (setup) of the plumb back line and the stuff removed just say so. This is for R32's only. R33's have electronic rear steering racks.

Just was looking on Greenline, can't seem to find the ENDLESS kit but came across this one (the first one listed)

http://www.greenline.jp/catalogue/btlist2....n&subtype=Other

It's called ESSENTIAL HICAS Breaker and listed for ¥10,210. Will this do the job to lock out HICAS for me on my 33?

Can you please post the pics?

also, can you detail what you meant by putting in the 40W 16ohm dummy load on the solenoid connector?

thanks in advance :huh:

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
