G'day

Do you guys know of anyone who removes HICAS systems south of the river?

I've been wanting to remove the entire HICAS system on my gts-t because its starting to shit itself, but i'm not 100% on the re-routing of the lines. Additionally i'd rather get it done by someone who has done others so its done properly.

The other option is getting the tommei lock kit and leaving the system in.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Alex

Rip the steering rack out and loop the 2 lines together using hose and strong clamps.

Any further removal really needs the engine out otherwise it's a complete bastard (I did the simple rack out, lockbar in, loop lines to start with, then the next time the engine came out I removed the solenoid and all the lines in the engine bay).

can remove the solenoid out of engine bay easy as. Rip the solenoid out, connect the lines that are left, this keeps the PS cooler and effectively cuts out the system.

Remove everything from the solenoid back.

Use a pitman puller toget the ends of its easier than bashing it with a hammer for 20mins.

Easy job.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
