I use a RB30 / R33 RB25 pump, needs a spacer on the Rb30 bracket to clear the timing case. Uses 3 not 4 rib v-belt. Sits ever so slightly off centre.

However R32 Non Hicas pumps exist, never seen one in the flesh however.

pull the 4 bolts holding the rear cover on, remove all the vanes from the rear pump and reassemble. Plug hicas inlet to pump.

Done this to more than a dozen cars with no side effects.

mine was just routed straight back into the pump. so by passes all the hicas lines that aren't there anymore.

Mine was done like this, it created far too much pressure for the pump though and blew out the seals. Hard to see I know, but this is how it was done:

The hicas part and the normal steering part are linked via a fabricated joiner. The steering was fantastic, but far too much pressure for the pump as I said.

I have the pump apart and the veins out. I PMed URAS and asked what he meant about plugging the hicas but he is not on anymore. Does anyone know what he means? Because I want to get it back together and on the car.

Once you have removed the veins from the rear assembly just put it back together and plug the rear outlet with a brass nut. That's what I have done on my own, I also removed all the hicas actuators and lines but so there were no free lines.

But I think what he means is just bolt back on the orginal hicas line that was there, which I believe is the rear HICAS outlet as the rear part of the pump will no longer function anyway. Or just remove the lines altogether like I did and plug it.

Yeah, I was thinking just before that he must have meant the hicas OUTLET not the inlet.

Its all good now anyway, I am getting a non-hicas pump for it.

47une mine was the same as yours is and my pump blew as well. I took the veins out of the back of the pump and put it back together as it was and now hasnt been a problem since as it does not create any pressure.

let us know how you go

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
