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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
