ok my car has a TOMEI hicas lock...

I went for an aligment and i couldnst seem to align the car properly...

they did according to skyline specs and also tried 300zx specs.

Whenever we drove the car if there was a bump or something on the ground the steering wheel would totaly change with it, wheel never drives straight/

Anyone got any ideas? is it the hicas lock thats f*king things up>?

I doubt the kit's causing your problems. The tomei kit is just a couple of shims to stop movement of the rear steering rack, and some trick electronics to fool the HICAS computer.

Could be worn tie rod ends/subframe bushes?. Blown or leaking struts can make the car bouce around too. I'd get a decent suspension shop to check it over properly.

My car seemed loose at the rear, and I took it to have it checked out. It turned out to be the diff mounting bush (or something in that area) that was worn, but a set of new subframe bushes fixed the symptoms.

Good luck :thumbsup:

the steering wheel goes from left to right, never its NEVER straight..

they tried to align it went out for a drive after 50 KMS the sterrign is 60 degress to the left.... then a bump comes the steering wheels goes to the right... and it drives straight with the wheel partially on the right lock /.

its weird its like its not pulling one way ... its constantly changing!

check the front steering rack mounting rubbers are not loose or worn out

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
