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

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
