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.

Joe.

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

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
