If you disconnect the HICAS unit, you will lose the speed sensitive steering.

I would be more inclined to think that there is something wrong with the power steering pump. If not this, then the HICAS unit.

Do you have a mate with a 33 that you could swap units with and take her for a test drive???

All I can think of bro...

I also have a similar problem on my r32. steering will be light from start up, then after a few minutes will be really heavy. i have a lock bar but it's not installed. would this solve the problem? lol sorry to hijack your thread danny

Question have you changed the pump to the single flow for front wheels only and disconnected the hicas computer and remove unecessary lines? the lock bar would not solve the problem as such caz i have pinned mine and havent have this prob. from start up though the steering will feel free because the engine is at a higher rev hence the belt hopefully tensioned properly will spin the pump faster not sure were you stand not knowing your setup. check your lines though for crimps etc. and how often do you top up if any at all?

yeah, see my problem is i don't know anything about HICAS or power steering in general, so i don't really know where to start. i haven't changed the pump to single flow for the front wheels, how would i go about doing this? should this loosen up the steering without disconnecting the hicas computer and unnecessary lines?

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
