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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
