Hicas Cancel...completely Getting Rid Of It

Well Ive spent the last hour or so searching around the net about cancelling the HICAS off my r32 gtst. Ive found a bit of info, but nothing which helps me really

My problem is that the rear toe arms have flogged out ball joints at both ends on both sides.

I already have a lock out bar installed, but there is almost 5mm play on both rear wheels because of the ball joints.

I have searched around the net and have only found one product which really would help, which is the driftworks hicas eliminator. It pretty much replaces the hicas toe arms with non-hicas toe arms and has a bracket to mount the rose joint to. Then a bush is put into the hub where the ball joint was.

Im thinking of doing this myself with some non-hicas adjustable toe arms. Like getting some from justjap and then just buying standard non-hicas bushes and making a little bracket to mount the other side to the subframe...

Has anyone done this?

Or is there a better way to completely replace the hicas arms and joints?

Yeah I ve already got the lock bar installed, and the hicas is disabled.

The problem is that I need to replace the both end of the rear toe arms because they have so much play in them.

I was thinking a kit something like this, except id have to make the brackets seeing I cant find any aussie shops which sell them..

yeah we run a custom setup like you posted above on the new race car. were using just jap's rear toe arms from an s13 or something, welded a bracket to the subframe. at the outer end we turned up a bush but I am 99% sure it is exactly the same size as the rear, upper control arm inner bushes

cool:)

yeah i was thinking of just buying some non-hicas ones fron justjap and making a little bracket to mount them too. It seems like a better idea than buying new hicas arms which still have the chance of having play in the later on...

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
