I did it on a neo head in a 32. What do you want to know? Use the above adapter plate and it works fine.

Awesome, Thanks! got any tips or tricks for someone about to do it?

You can also buy them directly from Otaku Garage in Australia. Thats where I got mine from. Really nice Billet CNC ones.

I bought one of these, and it looks like its not going to seal. like the mounting holes for the R33 side are in the wrong spot.

The hole pattern on the R33 side just needs to be moved down a touch, to get the hole inside the sealing area. I've contacted them, not sure if I'll have any luck. Was thinking of filling over the bolt head with some grey silicone gasket to seal  it.

You can't just move a hole bro, then it won't line up to the thread.

Good luck with it!

Was just commenting on what I think Otaku garage need to change to fix this problem. My possible solution was to bolt up the adaptor, then cover the head of the offending bolt with silicone gasket, hoping to give the factory gasket something to seal against.

I'm not holding my breath that Otaku garage is going to do anything to fix the issue.

 

Here is one that used to be sold on ebay, you can see the positioning of the holes is different, and would make the bolt clear of the edge of the valve/gasket.

Mate I have made heaps of these, that work, and I can tell you that one in the picture would have the holes in the same spot. The difference is the hole diameter would be smaller to not cause the issue you have. I think that guy used Phillips screws to hold it. When I made mi e I used countersunk Allen head bolts  and for that bolt I machined the head down so it didn't cause that issue, with a smaller countersink diameter of course. The issue is so obvious I can't believe they make and sell them as is.

I contacted them, and they say they've sold 100's of them without any issues. I'm not happy with it, and would like to return it. But there is no alternative to purchase. You wouldn't happen to have any for sale?

    • I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low
    • sadly, pics no work. that car must have spent a lot of time in a cryo bubble
    • In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.  
    • Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info 
    • It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.
