Im doing alot of restoration work on my gtr, and am looking at removing the hicas completely. Was thinking of looping the high pressure line at the hicas solenoid back into the powersterring cooler. But another option would be to fit an r33 gtr powersteering pump and mounting bracket. Has anyone done this to an r32 gtr before? If so where there any other mods that had to be done?

I've done it to my 32 gtst and it worked quite well. But now that i to am restoring while its stripped im installing a 33 rack and pump.

To route it through the cooler i just used a couple of barb fittings that i had from mounting a transmission cooler and some 3/8 oil hose. Was real simple to do and only took 15mins

Ah ok i think i might just do the loop, is the fluid at that line going to be at a very high pressure (considering its not gone through the front solenoid yet, just straight from the pump?)

Yeah just make sure the hose is oil rated, it will say on the box/roll at the auto parts store what it can be used for. Dont use heater hose or garden hose as it is doesnt work as well

yes. that is the nice way. or you could remove the back of the pump, get a magnet and remove all the vanes. put it back on and block off the outlet. can be done in the car.

i pulled apart the pump the other day, soo just take out the bit that are rectangluar bits of metal in the rear of the pump?, does this work a charm? :)

      Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together
