Wheel Alignment Tool For R34 Hicas?

[R-sanichi]

Hi,

My local Beaurepaires have told me that I need to find a workshop with the special tool to allow a wheel alignment on my R34. Aparently it makes the rear steer central before perfoming a 4 wheel alignment.

Can anyone recommend a worshop in the north east suburbs of Melbourne that can do this?

Thanks,

Michael.

Thanks. I've known Craig for many years, but I dont live in that area anymore. I was hoping there'd be someone in the north east (Bundoora, Greensbourough) area.

Thanks. I know Traction Tyres and their involement in Rallying over the years, so they really know what they are doing. Its just a bit of a drive from where I live (north east suburbs).

meh, bout 40mins from me, happy to make the drive.

Always happy to drive an extra bit of time to take the car to a place that knows what they're doing.

Due to only having two recomendations, I'm starting to wonder if I was mis-informed.

Has anyone encountered this before? (tyre shop telling you need to go to a Nissan dealer or tyre shop that has a special tool to centre the HICAS before/when performing a 4 wheel alignment)

Where do you get your wheel alignments done when you have a Skyline with 4WS?

I'm pretty sure the hicas will always be centred when the car is on and not moving due to it being electric I expect it would be centred without the engine running too. As far as I know hicas puts in inputs to move the rack when required, otherwise it's centered....

I understand what you're saying here Omurru. That's how I thought HICAS worked. I've had alignments done on my HR31 (past car) and the tyre shop didnt comment on the special need to centre the HICAS.
