Hay guys n gals

I just disconnected my HICAS to make it more driftable..

Im just wondering does the rear end have to be stiffened up with a bar or welded??....

Cause I've just tuned it up and it wobbles a little when I take off. (the backend)

:(

what do you mean buy disconnected?? you cant just pull a fuse or unplug a computer. you need a hicas lock bar to put in place of the hicas cylinder to hold the rear end straight.

BY disconnected i mean ive unplugged the socket near the battery and the fuse box, so hicas isnt connected anymore. Where can you get hicas lock bars from are they easy to install urself??

no, you cant do that. yeah, they are fairly straight forward to install, if your ok on the tools, there is a tutorial in the tut section if you have a look in there. only differance between 32 ad 33 is that 32 is hydrolic and 33 is electric, so you have hydrolic lines to block off/bypass on the 32.

also you need to get a wheel alignment done straight away after install. there are group buys that pop up occasionly for them, or just look around on some of the performance parts sites.

    • How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.
    • Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?
    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
