Does anyone know any mechanic who could install the HICAS lock bar and do a wheel alignment?

I had called up quite a number of workshop which I found from the internet but is not fruitful...many have not heard about HICAS.

Moderator does not allow poster to post workshop name, so kindly pm me if you know some where.

I have the lock bar, therefore scope would be install and wheel alignment.

I live in Homebush area and work near Blacktown area, any place near here would be good!

many thanks

best bet is find a place that does wheel alignments, and check how friendly they are with you doing work in the carpark :) I was lucky; my mechanic hoisted up my car on the wheel alignment thingy so i could get at it; i did the HICAS bar, then they lowered and aligned it.

i done my own lock bar, i was actually surprised how easy it was. then a quick drive up the road to get a wheel alignment.

Just keep in mind sometimes the best mechanics are not always just around the corner, i take mine about 30 mins from where I live.

time is nothing when i know im getting a job done right.

do you have the loop piece to put on the hydraulic lines?

you can grab them from just jap.

ive heard of power steer pumps overheating with line removal.

also, open to saturday work?

if so, ill pm you to have a further talk.

thanks everyone, so far I received 3 replies from SAU!

I wish to do it by myself based on the "installation manual" from SAU but I am a zero mechanic guy (I don't have the correct tools and just relocated from Brisbane)

yes I don't mind to travel far to get the job done

I just purchase the lock bar from ISC Performance and I think i don't have the hydraulic line... do i need it?

My vehicle is an R33 sedan

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
