just got an R32 GTST shell, have fitted an RB25DET and box,

all the power steer lines/pipes were given to me in a box and im trying to use the rb25 power steer pump which doesnt have hicas.

has anyone done this?

any one have a diagram of the r33 and r32 power steer system so i can see what i have to do.

cheers

by far the easiest thing to do is buy a HICAS lock bar (dirt cheap these days) and remove the solenoids, lines etc.

Then just use rb25 pump and r32 resoviour. I feed from the bottom of the resoviour to the pump inlet, then 1 line from pump to rack, and 1 line returning from pump to resoviour

This is exactly what i was needing help on for my conversion. I dont have any of the lines, I already have all solenoids removed and a lock bar fitted, so i wasnt sure how the pipes should be run either.

Because the hicas is gone, can i just run the pump to the steering rack then the steering rack to the resovior, then the resovior back to the pump?

I was thinking about getting some banjo bolts with the barb fittings and just pushing on the hose lines. what do you reckon?

Im heading to pirtek in a few minutes.

Once i measure up how i'll run the lines and what fittings etc ill post up how i did it.

Will be from reservoir to pump - pump to bottom fitting on rack (high pressure pipe or crimped connectiins) - rack to power steering cooler loop near radiator (low pressure hose and clamps) - from cooler to reservoir

Yeh let us know becasue I will be very interested to see how you go with it. I dont have the cooler section for mine so im not sure whether it would be needed or not seeings the Hicas is all gone :blink:

Sorry for Necro but...

I'm putting a NEO rb25det in an R32 and also having issues with powersteering pump alignment and HICAS removal. I have the RB20 pump, an RB26 pump and neither seem to provide any joy. Next step is to source an RB25 setup, will any RB25 Powersteering pump work or does it have to be off a NEO?

You will not be able to make it work with the old pumps on the new motor. The pulleys are different. OK, you may be able to make it work if you can find/make/adapt/space a suitable pulley.

Plus, one of the benefits of doing Neo into R32 is to get yourself some engine ancillaries, like the PS pump, that are 10 years younger than the old RB20 stuff!

So, the answer is to get an R34 pump and be done with it. After that, all that is required is to get the hoses from an R34 and attach them to the engine bay pipework for the R32 rack. Some Pirtek/Enzed assistance is required. Piss of the plumbing to the HICAS gear and throw it all in the skip.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
