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

    • Your other option is to buy a spray can of hi-fill and prime it with some pinholes. See if the primer makes them disappear. If it does, then you can leave it with pinholes of that size and they will go away when the painter takes over.
    • Ah ok. I seem to be mixing it like everyone else does so not sure what's happening. Will experiment with it more.
    • Depends on what you mean by OK. First up, was this done cold or hot? Are they reasonably consistent? Yes, they are reasonably consistent. Could be better. But unless it has had a build at some point, it is a ~30 year old engine and you'd expect some variation. Some of the difference could also be in user technique Is it good compression? Well....not numerically, no. New they were >160 psi. The one at 140 would be fine, in that context. If they were all ~140, you'd be reasonably happy. But the one that is @120 is twice as far down from the original numbers as the one @ 140. But.. (again)... technique can play a part in the absolute magnitude of these numbers, and the quality/state of repair/accuracy of the pressure gauge is not known. In the context of the above, the compression tester that was used last on my car is regularly compared to a known good pressure gauge. Not calibrated, exactly, but compared to a reference instrument that is not used for any other purpose, so cops no abuse. So we can trust the measurements off that tester. But another tester in the same workshop wasn't being compared against the standard and was reading a good 30ish psi lower. When you're reading 100 psu but the engine is really doing 130, you can make bad decisions.
    • More likely from tiny bubbles in the filler/putty. Maybe be less aggressive when mixing it. Perhaps invest in a vacuum chamber to pull the air bubbles out?** **I don't know if this is a thing for body filler. I see hardcore epoxy makers degassing their mixed resin on the regular.
    • IIRC, the speedo on these is fed from the sensor in/on the snout of the diff.
