Paul's R32 Gtr Track Build

[355GTS]

Just sold my Motec dash / data logger!

Why are the gods so cruel??

[sav man]

I run a R33 pump on my car with no cooler, and the only time i've had problems is when I split feed hose to the pump. The other time I had a combination of shit on my belt and the belt being too lose, it didn't make any noise, just got heavy.

[Roy]

I had all the HICAS stuff removed (lines pump etc) and a lock bar fitted and my steering has been heavy ever since. Nizpro said there was nothing that could be done about it....

The heavy steering is not great (in fact I hate it), but removal of the HICAS system is. So much more predictable.

Before that I never noticed heavy steering on track days. Never needed anything but light hands on the wheel.

LOL. one mans heavy is another mans light. So take this for consideration and not fact. But R32s need a speed input into their HICAS computer. On R32s the speed signal comes from the dash cluster.

M2 2 bucks fitty is that for some reason they have messed with the speed input into the HICAS computer and the steering is defaulting to the heavy setting. Easy check is disconnect the speedo drive from the gearbox and go for a 15min drive. If the steering effort is no different then there is a problem with the speed input to the HICAS ECU

I accept payment in beer and reach-arounds

Troy where have you been all my life? Did you forget your SAU login for a while there?

[SimonR32]

Roy is right, broken speedo cable = very heavy steering. I've done it twice at the drags back in the day and gone to turn around at the end thought WTF, my skinny ass arms aren't built for this!

Regrettably the car is up for sale.

This is a shame Paul. Hopefully all is well.

[paulR32gtr]

Yeah it's stomach churning stuff for me.

All very well, new arrival in the family 4 months ago so I need to start being a bit more responsible! Unfortunately I have too many cars & associated expenses.

[nk7]

Another example of family tearing us apart!! Good luck with all.

[BBGTR]
