Yeah mate, simple enough. I have just done this on my a31 cefiro with the rb20det so it's a similar setup apart from the power steering fluid cooler on the 32.

Step 1- either replace rear rack with a hicas lockbar or get your existing rack locked up- not a bad option for the street as it still looks standard. (obviously drain your reservoir first)

Step 2- as now the rears taken care of you will have 2 lines running from the front steering rack to the rear, these can be fully removed and the outlets on the front rack won't need to be plugged as this runs seperately to the front.

Step 3- remove the solenoid from the engine bay and the two lines running from it to the front rack. You will end up with a extra inlet from your reservoir and an extra outlet from your pump, all you Need to do now is loop the two together to keep the flow or since it's a 32 just use your fluid cooler in between, or a good oil cooler since your allready there.

Step 4-

Low pressure fittings will be fine as its not under load- its just recirculating your reservoir.

Step 4- Clean Up and enjoy 2ws action

This has been extensively written up all over the internet.

FWIW, I went the whole hog, and replaced my HICAS rear subframe with a non-HICAS subframe. Opportunity to replace the subframe bushes etc etc was taken. No nasty HICAS tie rods and tie rod ends left now either.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
