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? :)

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
