Defected!

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.

Yep R33 HICAS is electric, I've removed it before, can give you a hand putting it back in if you would like?

- 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

i have passed the breaking test.

thanks helso for the offer, when i can find the hicas i may take you up on that.

dam, they system is setup to focus more on the technicality than the practicality!

[heslo]

No worries buddy, if you have a lock bar, we can swap it out onto my car and give you my working HICAS unit if you wish?

[DriftR_33]

OMG would you do that?

judging by my experiances with skylines, every thing is relitively quick and easy. what sort of time fram would you put on this job?

[Nozila]

to give you an idea, it took me 3 hrs to remove my hicas unit (1st time its been touched) thats before installing my hicas lock bar.

[heslo]

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.

[DriftR_33]

maybe it would be easier to just borrow one thats already off, wanna lend me yours nozila?

i have to replace my battery in my boot with a dry cell batters i have been quoted $480 for one.

wat the hell this is bullshit, F@#K this government. seriously!

[heslo]

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.

[Richo]

I have a Hicas rack if you need it, is that what you are after?

[DriftR_33]

yes, i do need the hicas rack..

is it for a 33 or the one off my car?

[DriftR_33]

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

. 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
