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

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
