Hello everyone..

Im a r32 owner and currently have my motor out, with the helping hand of a few chippies.. i somehow ended up with my hicas solenoid cut off with a grinder!... anyways question is now that its wrecked can i do the hicas front removal!?

so far ive had to bum the 2 lines from the rear end into eachother to stop oil leaking out all over the shop, and the solenoid from the front i no longer own :P

Its a stock r32 steering rack, and i have a r34 gtt powersteering pump

am i able to get a simple easy to ready drawing ( preferably done on paint that points out what lines go where! as after reading the thread on hicas removal, it is easy to understand(if i had all the parts still there) but now im missing gear. :( a simple diagram will go very very far... And im sure im not the only one who is or has possibly thought of the idea!

anyways any help would be awsome..

sorry if this is the wrong thread!! :D

tthats the point that im at now, i just want to work out with 2 lines to join and which lines i need to purchase!

you dont NEED to purchase anything except for the lock bar for the steering rack at the rear axle, the hicas lines can be taken off the car along with the other associated hardware, use a non hicas power steering pump and your done (hicas steering pump has feed for hicas)

basicly what im trying to sus now is where the front banjo fitting from my power steering pump can go? i have also a spare unused line going to reservior, i heard the power steering pump can be modified also to block the 1 banjo up?

can i link the front banjo line through a aftermarket cooler and back to the reservior?

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
