Hi guys,

Long story short i want to remove my hicas as its playing up.. Now i have been told a few conflicating storys on what to do/not do by a few workshops one said i MUST use a 33gtr power steering pump or remove half of the veins on the impeller on the 32 power steering pump otherwise it will over pressurerise the steering rack and cause the steering rack to leak?? Others have said no drama's just pull it out and put a lock bar in it makes no difference and another said that you have to re-wire the hicas to stop the hicas light coming on and not to use a lock bar but get the standard rack welded up so you dont have to remove the lines etc..

Could someone that has removed there hicas please shed some light on this and point me in the right direction? Any help is much appreciated

Here is good guide: http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=185697

Put in a lockbar, then you bypass the front Hicas solenoid by looping (through the power steering cooler) the rear stage of the pump.

You DON't need to remove the vanes from the pump's rear section

Getting rid of all the hicas gear saves ~20kgs. The light on the dash is fixed by cutting a wire on the hicas ecu.

My r32 has been like this for over 2yrs with no problems.

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
