I believe there were some they didn't come with hicas as there is a powersteer pump available without hicas.

Most likely the n/a base model.

I'm probably wrong though as I don't know for sure.. Just something I vaguely remember.

I found heaps of R33's that didn't have HICAS, & they were factory original.

When I bought mine it was the only one I'd found with the system on it & these were only just complied cars we're talking about here too. The setup is actually a bit different & lacks the adjustments for toe that the HICAS type rear end has.

- re-instate abs control function. (doesent have abs.. IDIOT) supply report stating operation ok

Hmm, I thought this one interesting, but I suppose it part and parcel with inspector inconsistencies.

When my car went through, I had the ABS fault light ON (I've turned it off due to common problems with it) in orange on the dash and no comment was made about it. ABS shouldn't matter if you can pass the breaking test.

Best of luck

Yeah bud, if there's a lock bar in place, we could do a swap. The only problem I forsee is that it requires a wheel alignment to be done after the swap, so if you wanted the bar back, you'd have to get two alignments done. For a time frame, I'd go with Nozila's estimate, but, now that I've done one, I think I could shave a half an hour to an hour off of it

thats true, once you 'crack' the bolts so to speak, its alot easier to unbolt and re-bolt. i didnt have that luxury as i stated, i was first time the bolts were unbolted. but since you have (i presume) a lock bar then your bolts would be easy as to undo. pain in the back side none the less. wheel alignment is highly advised.

Yeah, it's screwed up but what can we do? If you don't want to swap with mine and get a replacement that you can use, I'm still more than willing to lend a hand.

thanks mate for willing to help me... :)

my mate found me a r33 hicas today and have installed it. cost me nothing HAHA :D:)

. We need cops that stop crime instead of discriminantely fleecing certain members of the public & making them out to be the crims instead.

true ^^

1 of the reasons why i sold my old 33gtr years ago...they pulled me over and gave me a fine for changing lane @ a roundabout (glenelg) near the revolving restaurant. Another time they pulled me over to search for my 2 bov, but being stupid noobs, they couldnt find them, bov are under the engine bay in GTRs.

just anything they could find, they'll make that extra effort to fine/defect u

while the real bad guys are still out there doing the real damage

so bl jase, just a bad day out @ kfc :D

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
