Hey fellas, wondering if anyone you know of in Perth stocks HICAS lock bars to suit R32?

Ive found out I can get one via QLD from Niteworks Performance but if i could get one early next week in the perth area that would be better.

Anyone point me in the right direction? cheers

30mins on the hoist for mine (including smoke breaks), the longest/hardest part was knocking the ball joints out.

I didn't bother removing all of the HICAS shit to begin with, I just looped the lines at the back of the car (only for R32's) and removed the rest of the stuff when the engine was next out.

It actually makes it feel less tail happy and more stable as the backend isn't trying to do its' own thing (particularly when sideways).

I'm happy the Stag didn't have it from the factory! :P

I think he meant that it is less likely to step out w/ the HICAS working right?

The other alternative to a hicas lockbar is a S13 non hicas rear cradle, and some aftermarket toe rods.

It will set you back a bit more ($150-$200 for cradle & $100 - $250 for toe rods). But the advantage is that it looks alot neater, gives you more adjustment and tightens the backend allot more. This is because often the hicas rubber bush thingys that you bolt the lock bar to are pretty flogged out and create allot of slop.

And while your at it, you can always throw some solid cradle bushes into the mix ^_^

Got me Lock bar VIA NiteWorks so I'll get around to putting it on later today.

Had a look under the rear yesterday on the hoist and it looks fairly simple. Hopefully

Just seeing if I can loop these lines pictured below so I can remove the lines that run the length of the car?

Kind of.. HICAS is there to essentially induce understeer if a corner is taken too fast, as understeer was deemed safer for novice drivers.

Rubber bushes?? IIRC mine bolted straight the the subframe with no rubber bushes of any kind.

I looped mine at the resevoir.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
