Um.......there's 2 lines that come from the front of the car and connect to the rack at the rear. Connect one of the ones that comes from the front to the other one that comes from the front, and the job is done. FWIW, the photo you've attached looks to be the correct spot. Driver's side, forward of the rear subframe. But you don't "cut" anything. There's fittings right there.

the lines in the photo are not at the rear subframe, they are at the front, driver side near the kframe. the fittings you see there, i had to remove and remove the lines from there rearward so the hicas rack could come out. the only lines left there are the ones infront of those fittings.

OK, it's been a while since I looked at mine.  What fittings are visible at the lock solenoid closer to the rear subframe?<br /><br />Regardless, I think you can loop them at the front fittings.  Perhaps look here http://nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=185697

It's a little different between the effort to loop them at the back (most people do this) and looping it at the front to remove all the HICAS pipework.

cheers

Yup i need to loop at the front as i removed all the rear hicas stuff and the lines. its just hard to tell what is what from the pictures in those guides because theres alot of lines under car and in the engine bay. will have another look tommorow

think i got it now....pictures below.. look right?

First pic refering to :

If you look just in front of the engine cross member, you will see a few power steering lines (steel pipes). one of these goes into a high pressure fitting and then into the hicas solenoid. get a hacksaw and cut through this steel pipe, connect your hose onto it, hose clamp it and feed it up through the car.

Second pic refering to :

On the line that goes back the solenoid you will see a short ~15cm long moulded rubber hose held on with hose clamps. take this off and then put your other hose that you just put on from the bottom onto the aluminium pipe, not into the solenoid, then hose clamp it.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
